So the greatest common factor 376,501 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 930,736
2 | 930, 736 |
465, 368 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 465 x 368 = 342240
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/342240
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 376/930,501/736 is 1/342240
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 930,736 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(930,736) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(930,736) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(930,736) = ( 930 × 736 ) / 2
LCM(930,736) = 684480 / 2
LCM(930,736) = 342240
