Lets's calculate LCM of 704,8310
2 | 704, 8310 |
352, 4155 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 352 x 4155 = 2925120
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/2925120
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 6940/704,3207/8310 is 1/2925120
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 704,8310 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(704,8310) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(704,8310) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(704,8310) = ( 704 × 8310 ) / 2
LCM(704,8310) = 5850240 / 2
LCM(704,8310) = 2925120
