So the greatest common factor 1231,5727 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 740,160
2 | 740, 160 |
2 | 370, 80 |
5 | 185, 40 |
37, 8 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 5 x 37 x 8 = 5920
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/5920
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1231/740,5727/160 is 1/5920
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 740,160 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(740,160) = 20
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(740,160) x common factors =20 x 1 = 20
LCM(740,160) = ( 740 × 160 ) / 20
LCM(740,160) = 118400 / 20
LCM(740,160) = 5920
