Lets's calculate LCM of 240,736
2 | 240, 736 |
2 | 120, 368 |
2 | 60, 184 |
2 | 30, 92 |
15, 46 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 15 x 46 = 11040
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/11040
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 595/240,741/736 is 1/11040
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 240,736 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(240,736) = 16
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(240,736) x common factors =16 x 1 = 16
LCM(240,736) = ( 240 × 736 ) / 16
LCM(240,736) = 176640 / 16
LCM(240,736) = 11040
