So the greatest common factor 929,538 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 40,3574
2 | 40, 3574 |
20, 1787 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 20 x 1787 = 71480
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/71480
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 929/40,538/3574 is 1/71480
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 40,3574 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(40,3574) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(40,3574) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(40,3574) = ( 40 × 3574 ) / 2
LCM(40,3574) = 142960 / 2
LCM(40,3574) = 71480
