2 | 182, 7240 |
91, 3620 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 91 x 3620 = 658840
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/658840
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3686/182,3983/7240 is 1/658840
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 182,7240 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(182,7240) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(182,7240) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(182,7240) = ( 182 × 7240 ) / 2
LCM(182,7240) = 1317680 / 2
LCM(182,7240) = 658840
