We found the factors 750,720 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 750,720 is 30.
Lets's calculate LCM of 495,531
3 | 495, 531 |
3 | 165, 177 |
55, 59 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 3 x 55 x 59 = 29205
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 30/29205
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 750/495,720/531 is 30/29205
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 495,531 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(495,531) = 9
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(495,531) x common factors =9 x 1 = 9
LCM(495,531) = ( 495 × 531 ) / 9
LCM(495,531) = 262845 / 9
LCM(495,531) = 29205
