So the greatest common factor 3594,3405 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 474,140
2 | 474, 140 |
237, 70 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 237 x 70 = 33180
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/33180
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3594/474,3405/140 is 3/33180
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 474,140 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(474,140) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(474,140) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(474,140) = ( 474 × 140 ) / 2
LCM(474,140) = 66360 / 2
LCM(474,140) = 33180
