:1,157
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 240,157 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 240,157 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 748,756
2 | 748, 756 |
2 | 374, 378 |
187, 189 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 187 x 189 = 141372
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/141372
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 240/748,157/756 is 1/141372
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 748,756 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(748,756) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(748,756) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(748,756) = ( 748 × 756 ) / 4
LCM(748,756) = 565488 / 4
LCM(748,756) = 141372
