Lets's calculate LCM of 729,743
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 541647
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/541647
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5126/729,8526/743 is 2/541647
The formula of LCM is LCM(a1,a2,a3....,an) = ( a1 × a2 × a3 × .... × an) / GCF(a1,a2,a3....,an) x common factors(if more than 2 numbers have common factors).
We need to calculate greatest common factor of 729,743 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(729,743) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(729,743) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(729,743) = ( 729 × 743 ) / 1
LCM(729,743) = 541647 / 1
LCM(729,743) = 541647
