Lets's calculate LCM of 484,140
2 | 484, 140 |
2 | 242, 70 |
121, 35 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 121 x 35 = 16940
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/16940
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 735/484,3741/140 is 3/16940
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 484,140 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(484,140) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(484,140) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(484,140) = ( 484 × 140 ) / 4
LCM(484,140) = 67760 / 4
LCM(484,140) = 16940
