Lets's calculate LCM of 3140,4090
| 2 | 3140, 4090 |
| 5 | 1570, 2045 |
| 314, 409 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 5 x 314 x 409 = 1284260
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 17/1284260
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 476/3140,731/4090 is 17/1284260
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 3140,4090 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(3140,4090) = 10
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(3140,4090) x common factors =10 x 1 = 10
LCM(3140,4090) = ( 3140 × 4090 ) / 10
LCM(3140,4090) = 12842600 / 10
LCM(3140,4090) = 1284260
