Now, list down the factors of 7438
:1,2,3719,7438
Now, list down the factors of 3690
:1,2,3,5,6,9,10,15,18,30,41,45,82,90,123,205,246,369,410,615,738,1230,1845,3690
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 7438,3690 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 7438,3690 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 355,745
5 | 355, 745 |
71, 149 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 5 x 71 x 149 = 52895
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/52895
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 7438/355,3690/745 is 2/52895
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 355,745 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(355,745) = 5
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(355,745) x common factors =5 x 1 = 5
LCM(355,745) = ( 355 × 745 ) / 5
LCM(355,745) = 264475 / 5
LCM(355,745) = 52895
