So the greatest common factor 412,300 is 4.
Lets's calculate LCM of 740,255
5 | 740, 255 |
148, 51 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 5 x 148 x 51 = 37740
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/37740
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 412/740,300/255 is 4/37740
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 740,255 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(740,255) = 5
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(740,255) x common factors =5 x 1 = 5
LCM(740,255) = ( 740 × 255 ) / 5
LCM(740,255) = 188700 / 5
LCM(740,255) = 37740
