Lets's calculate LCM of 731,4471
17 | 731, 4471 |
43, 263 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 17 x 43 x 263 = 192253
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/192253
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5456/731,2148/4471 is 4/192253
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 731,4471 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(731,4471) = 17
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(731,4471) x common factors =17 x 1 = 17
LCM(731,4471) = ( 731 × 4471 ) / 17
LCM(731,4471) = 3268301 / 17
LCM(731,4471) = 192253
