So the greatest common factor 364,938 is 14.
Lets's calculate LCM of 40,876
2 | 40, 876 |
2 | 20, 438 |
10, 219 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 10 x 219 = 8760
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 14/8760
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 364/40,938/876 is 14/8760
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 40,876 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(40,876) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(40,876) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(40,876) = ( 40 × 876 ) / 4
LCM(40,876) = 35040 / 4
LCM(40,876) = 8760
