Lets's calculate LCM of 740,132
2 | 740, 132 |
2 | 370, 66 |
185, 33 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 185 x 33 = 24420
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 8/24420
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2008/740,8568/132 is 8/24420
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 740,132 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(740,132) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(740,132) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(740,132) = ( 740 × 132 ) / 4
LCM(740,132) = 97680 / 4
LCM(740,132) = 24420
