We found the factors 639,426 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 639,426 is 213.
Lets's calculate LCM of 40,7480
2 | 40, 7480 |
2 | 20, 3740 |
2 | 10, 1870 |
5 | 5, 935 |
1, 187 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 2 x 5 x 1 x 187 = 7480
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 213/7480
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 639/40,426/7480 is 213/7480
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 40,7480 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(40,7480) = 40
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(40,7480) x common factors =40 x 1 = 40
LCM(40,7480) = ( 40 × 7480 ) / 40
LCM(40,7480) = 299200 / 40
LCM(40,7480) = 7480
