So the greatest common factor 2001,1640 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 502,1374
2 | 502, 1374 |
251, 687 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 251 x 687 = 344874
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/344874
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2001/502,1640/1374 is 1/344874
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 502,1374 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(502,1374) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(502,1374) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(502,1374) = ( 502 × 1374 ) / 2
LCM(502,1374) = 689748 / 2
LCM(502,1374) = 344874
