Lets's calculate LCM of 724,9256
| 2 | 724, 9256 |
| 2 | 362, 4628 |
| 181, 2314 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 181 x 2314 = 1675336
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 5/1675336
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 8900/724,2245/9256 is 5/1675336
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 724,9256 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(724,9256) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(724,9256) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(724,9256) = ( 724 × 9256 ) / 4
LCM(724,9256) = 6701344 / 4
LCM(724,9256) = 1675336
