Lets's calculate LCM of 740,3969
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 2937060
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 12/2937060
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 6060/740,9168/3969 is 12/2937060
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 740,3969 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(740,3969) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(740,3969) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(740,3969) = ( 740 × 3969 ) / 1
LCM(740,3969) = 2937060 / 1
LCM(740,3969) = 2937060
