Lets's calculate LCM of 730,8388
2 | 730, 8388 |
365, 4194 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 365 x 4194 = 3061620
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 26/3061620
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2782/730,3042/8388 is 26/3061620
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 730,8388 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(730,8388) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(730,8388) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(730,8388) = ( 730 × 8388 ) / 2
LCM(730,8388) = 6123240 / 2
LCM(730,8388) = 3061620
