Lets's calculate LCM of 729,2925
3 | 729, 2925 |
3 | 243, 975 |
81, 325 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 3 x 81 x 325 = 236925
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/236925
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 8586/729,3964/2925 is 2/236925
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 729,2925 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(729,2925) = 9
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(729,2925) x common factors =9 x 1 = 9
LCM(729,2925) = ( 729 × 2925 ) / 9
LCM(729,2925) = 2132325 / 9
LCM(729,2925) = 236925
