Lets's calculate LCM of 724,2098
2 | 724, 2098 |
362, 1049 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 362 x 1049 = 759476
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/759476
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5721/724,4308/2098 is 3/759476
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 724,2098 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(724,2098) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(724,2098) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(724,2098) = ( 724 × 2098 ) / 2
LCM(724,2098) = 1518952 / 2
LCM(724,2098) = 759476
