So the greatest common factor 8672,3018 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 727,1290
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 937830
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/937830
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 8672/727,3018/1290 is 2/937830
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 727,1290 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(727,1290) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(727,1290) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(727,1290) = ( 727 × 1290 ) / 1
LCM(727,1290) = 937830 / 1
LCM(727,1290) = 937830
