Lets's calculate LCM of 720,370
2 | 720, 370 |
5 | 360, 185 |
72, 37 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 5 x 72 x 37 = 26640
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/26640
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3450/720,8584/370 is 2/26640
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 720,370 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(720,370) = 10
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(720,370) x common factors =10 x 1 = 10
LCM(720,370) = ( 720 × 370 ) / 10
LCM(720,370) = 266400 / 10
LCM(720,370) = 26640
