We found the factors 248,344 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 248,344 is 8.
Lets's calculate LCM of 40,7378
2 | 40, 7378 |
20, 3689 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 20 x 3689 = 147560
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 8/147560
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 248/40,344/7378 is 8/147560
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 40,7378 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(40,7378) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(40,7378) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(40,7378) = ( 40 × 7378 ) / 2
LCM(40,7378) = 295120 / 2
LCM(40,7378) = 147560
