So the greatest common factor 7339,5560 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 874,850
2 | 874, 850 |
437, 425 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 437 x 425 = 371450
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/371450
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 7339/874,5560/850 is 1/371450
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 874,850 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(874,850) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(874,850) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(874,850) = ( 874 × 850 ) / 2
LCM(874,850) = 742900 / 2
LCM(874,850) = 371450
