So the greatest common factor 1725,9170 is 5.
Lets's calculate LCM of 740,8906
2 | 740, 8906 |
370, 4453 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 370 x 4453 = 3295220
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 5/3295220
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1725/740,9170/8906 is 5/3295220
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 740,8906 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(740,8906) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(740,8906) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(740,8906) = ( 740 × 8906 ) / 2
LCM(740,8906) = 6590440 / 2
LCM(740,8906) = 3295220
