Lets's calculate LCM of 737,3762
11 | 737, 3762 |
67, 342 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 11 x 67 x 342 = 252054
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 10/252054
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 4660/737,2990/3762 is 10/252054
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 737,3762 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(737,3762) = 11
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(737,3762) x common factors =11 x 1 = 11
LCM(737,3762) = ( 737 × 3762 ) / 11
LCM(737,3762) = 2772594 / 11
LCM(737,3762) = 252054
