Lets's calculate LCM of 740,7464
2 | 740, 7464 |
2 | 370, 3732 |
185, 1866 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 185 x 1866 = 1380840
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/1380840
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 9488/740,4708/7464 is 4/1380840
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 740,7464 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(740,7464) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(740,7464) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(740,7464) = ( 740 × 7464 ) / 4
LCM(740,7464) = 5523360 / 4
LCM(740,7464) = 1380840
