Lets's calculate LCM of 740,209
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 154660
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/154660
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 417/740,4956/209 is 3/154660
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 740,209 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(740,209) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(740,209) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(740,209) = ( 740 × 209 ) / 1
LCM(740,209) = 154660 / 1
LCM(740,209) = 154660
