So the greatest common factor 725,599 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 273,972
3 | 273, 972 |
91, 324 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 91 x 324 = 88452
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/88452
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 725/273,599/972 is 1/88452
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 273,972 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(273,972) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(273,972) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(273,972) = ( 273 × 972 ) / 3
LCM(273,972) = 265356 / 3
LCM(273,972) = 88452
