Lets's calculate LCM of 265,748
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 198220
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/198220
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 374/265,8952/748 is 2/198220
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 265,748 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(265,748) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(265,748) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(265,748) = ( 265 × 748 ) / 1
LCM(265,748) = 198220 / 1
LCM(265,748) = 198220
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
