So the greatest common factor 780,7974 is 6.
Lets's calculate LCM of 985,740
5 | 985, 740 |
197, 148 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 5 x 197 x 148 = 145780
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 6/145780
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 780/985,7974/740 is 6/145780
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 985,740 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(985,740) = 5
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(985,740) x common factors =5 x 1 = 5
LCM(985,740) = ( 985 × 740 ) / 5
LCM(985,740) = 728900 / 5
LCM(985,740) = 145780
