Lets's calculate LCM of 273,728
7 | 273, 728 |
13 | 39, 104 |
3, 8 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 7 x 13 x 3 x 8 = 2184
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/2184
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 6720/273,3734/728 is 2/2184
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 273,728 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(273,728) = 91
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(273,728) x common factors =91 x 1 = 91
LCM(273,728) = ( 273 × 728 ) / 91
LCM(273,728) = 198744 / 91
LCM(273,728) = 2184
