So the greatest common factor 418,884 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 740,705
5 | 740, 705 |
148, 141 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 5 x 148 x 141 = 104340
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/104340
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 418/740,884/705 is 2/104340
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 740,705 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(740,705) = 5
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(740,705) x common factors =5 x 1 = 5
LCM(740,705) = ( 740 × 705 ) / 5
LCM(740,705) = 521700 / 5
LCM(740,705) = 104340
