Lets's calculate LCM of 742,274
2 | 742, 274 |
371, 137 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 371 x 137 = 101654
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 7/101654
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 9037/742,5551/274 is 7/101654
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 742,274 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(742,274) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(742,274) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(742,274) = ( 742 × 274 ) / 2
LCM(742,274) = 203308 / 2
LCM(742,274) = 101654
