So the greatest common factor 1755,4740 is 15.
Lets's calculate LCM of 952,298
2 | 952, 298 |
476, 149 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 476 x 149 = 141848
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 15/141848
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1755/952,4740/298 is 15/141848
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 952,298 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(952,298) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(952,298) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(952,298) = ( 952 × 298 ) / 2
LCM(952,298) = 283696 / 2
LCM(952,298) = 141848
