So the greatest common factor 635,727 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 40,9432
| 2 | 40, 9432 |
| 2 | 20, 4716 |
| 2 | 10, 2358 |
| 5, 1179 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 2 x 5 x 1179 = 47160
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/47160
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 635/40,727/9432 is 1/47160
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 40,9432 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(40,9432) = 8
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(40,9432) x common factors =8 x 1 = 8
LCM(40,9432) = ( 40 × 9432 ) / 8
LCM(40,9432) = 377280 / 8
LCM(40,9432) = 47160
