Lets's calculate LCM of 749,320
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 239680
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/239680
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 8986/749,1626/320 is 2/239680
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 749,320 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(749,320) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(749,320) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(749,320) = ( 749 × 320 ) / 1
LCM(749,320) = 239680 / 1
LCM(749,320) = 239680
