Lets's calculate LCM of 730,5552
2 | 730, 5552 |
365, 2776 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 365 x 2776 = 2026480
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/2026480
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3338/730,3440/5552 is 2/2026480
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 730,5552 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(730,5552) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(730,5552) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(730,5552) = ( 730 × 5552 ) / 2
LCM(730,5552) = 4052960 / 2
LCM(730,5552) = 2026480
