Lets's calculate LCM of 330,740
2 | 330, 740 |
5 | 165, 370 |
33, 74 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 5 x 33 x 74 = 24420
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 12/24420
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 564/330,144/740 is 12/24420
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 330,740 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(330,740) = 10
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(330,740) x common factors =10 x 1 = 10
LCM(330,740) = ( 330 × 740 ) / 10
LCM(330,740) = 244200 / 10
LCM(330,740) = 24420
