Lets's calculate LCM of 990,3730
2 | 990, 3730 |
5 | 495, 1865 |
99, 373 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 5 x 99 x 373 = 369270
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/369270
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2342/990,2288/3730 is 2/369270
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 990,3730 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(990,3730) = 10
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(990,3730) x common factors =10 x 1 = 10
LCM(990,3730) = ( 990 × 3730 ) / 10
LCM(990,3730) = 3692700 / 10
LCM(990,3730) = 369270
