So the greatest common factor 7340,4155 is 5.
Lets's calculate LCM of 737,3931
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 2897147
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 5/2897147
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 7340/737,4155/3931 is 5/2897147
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 737,3931 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(737,3931) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(737,3931) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(737,3931) = ( 737 × 3931 ) / 1
LCM(737,3931) = 2897147 / 1
LCM(737,3931) = 2897147
