Lets's calculate LCM of 735,8238
3 | 735, 8238 |
245, 2746 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 245 x 2746 = 2018310
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/2018310
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2406/735,5632/8238 is 2/2018310
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 735,8238 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(735,8238) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(735,8238) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(735,8238) = ( 735 × 8238 ) / 3
LCM(735,8238) = 6054930 / 3
LCM(735,8238) = 2018310
