Lets's calculate LCM of 740,8442
2 | 740, 8442 |
370, 4221 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 370 x 4221 = 3123540
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/3123540
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 6484/740,5886/8442 is 2/3123540
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 740,8442 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(740,8442) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(740,8442) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(740,8442) = ( 740 × 8442 ) / 2
LCM(740,8442) = 6247080 / 2
LCM(740,8442) = 3123540
