Lets's calculate LCM of 740,267
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 197580
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/197580
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3251/740,5526/267 is 1/197580
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 740,267 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(740,267) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(740,267) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(740,267) = ( 740 × 267 ) / 1
LCM(740,267) = 197580 / 1
LCM(740,267) = 197580
