Lets's calculate LCM of 640,7342
2 | 640, 7342 |
320, 3671 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 320 x 3671 = 2349440
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/2349440
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 8916/640,3059/7342 is 1/2349440
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 640,7342 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(640,7342) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(640,7342) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(640,7342) = ( 640 × 7342 ) / 2
LCM(640,7342) = 4698880 / 2
LCM(640,7342) = 2349440
