Lets's calculate LCM of 531,711
3 | 531, 711 |
3 | 177, 237 |
59, 79 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 3 x 59 x 79 = 41949
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 10/41949
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 7340/531,6790/711 is 10/41949
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 531,711 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(531,711) = 9
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(531,711) x common factors =9 x 1 = 9
LCM(531,711) = ( 531 × 711 ) / 9
LCM(531,711) = 377541 / 9
LCM(531,711) = 41949
