So the greatest common factor 290,4000 is 10.
Lets's calculate LCM of 708,2337
3 | 708, 2337 |
236, 779 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 236 x 779 = 551532
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 10/551532
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 290/708,4000/2337 is 10/551532
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 708,2337 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(708,2337) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(708,2337) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(708,2337) = ( 708 × 2337 ) / 3
LCM(708,2337) = 1654596 / 3
LCM(708,2337) = 551532
