So the greatest common factor 7140,3978 is 102.
Lets's calculate LCM of 729,510
3 | 729, 510 |
243, 170 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 243 x 170 = 123930
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 102/123930
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 7140/729,3978/510 is 102/123930
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 729,510 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(729,510) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(729,510) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(729,510) = ( 729 × 510 ) / 3
LCM(729,510) = 371790 / 3
LCM(729,510) = 123930
