We found the factors 945,921 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 945,921 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 724,252
2 | 724, 252 |
2 | 362, 126 |
181, 63 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 181 x 63 = 45612
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/45612
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 945/724,921/252 is 3/45612
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 724,252 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(724,252) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(724,252) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(724,252) = ( 724 × 252 ) / 4
LCM(724,252) = 182448 / 4
LCM(724,252) = 45612
