Lets's calculate LCM of 735,7375
5 | 735, 7375 |
147, 1475 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 5 x 147 x 1475 = 1084125
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/1084125
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1240/735,3754/7375 is 2/1084125
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 735,7375 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(735,7375) = 5
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(735,7375) x common factors =5 x 1 = 5
LCM(735,7375) = ( 735 × 7375 ) / 5
LCM(735,7375) = 5420625 / 5
LCM(735,7375) = 1084125
