Lets's calculate LCM of 742,3408
2 | 742, 3408 |
371, 1704 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 371 x 1704 = 1264368
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 12/1264368
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5364/742,1860/3408 is 12/1264368
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 742,3408 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(742,3408) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(742,3408) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(742,3408) = ( 742 × 3408 ) / 2
LCM(742,3408) = 2528736 / 2
LCM(742,3408) = 1264368
