Lets's calculate LCM of 992,740
2 | 992, 740 |
2 | 496, 370 |
248, 185 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 248 x 185 = 183520
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/183520
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1869/992,2749/740 is 1/183520
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 992,740 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(992,740) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(992,740) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(992,740) = ( 992 × 740 ) / 4
LCM(992,740) = 734080 / 4
LCM(992,740) = 183520
