So the greatest common factor 785,450 is 5.
Lets's calculate LCM of 722,252
2 | 722, 252 |
361, 126 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 361 x 126 = 90972
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 5/90972
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 785/722,450/252 is 5/90972
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 722,252 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(722,252) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(722,252) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(722,252) = ( 722 × 252 ) / 2
LCM(722,252) = 181944 / 2
LCM(722,252) = 90972
