So the greatest common factor 8710,1985 is 5.
Lets's calculate LCM of 246,726
2 | 246, 726 |
3 | 123, 363 |
41, 121 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 3 x 41 x 121 = 29766
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 5/29766
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 8710/246,1985/726 is 5/29766
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 246,726 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(246,726) = 6
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(246,726) x common factors =6 x 1 = 6
LCM(246,726) = ( 246 × 726 ) / 6
LCM(246,726) = 178596 / 6
LCM(246,726) = 29766
