Lets's calculate LCM of 40,4232
2 | 40, 4232 |
2 | 20, 2116 |
2 | 10, 1058 |
5, 529 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 2 x 5 x 529 = 21160
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/21160
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 365/40,494/4232 is 1/21160
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 40,4232 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(40,4232) = 8
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(40,4232) x common factors =8 x 1 = 8
LCM(40,4232) = ( 40 × 4232 ) / 8
LCM(40,4232) = 169280 / 8
LCM(40,4232) = 21160
