Lets's calculate LCM of 736,8700
2 | 736, 8700 |
2 | 368, 4350 |
184, 2175 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 184 x 2175 = 1600800
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/1600800
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 8362/736,3844/8700 is 2/1600800
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 736,8700 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(736,8700) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(736,8700) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(736,8700) = ( 736 × 8700 ) / 4
LCM(736,8700) = 6403200 / 4
LCM(736,8700) = 1600800
