So the greatest common factor 40,5424 is 8.
Lets's calculate LCM of 630,9366
2 | 630, 9366 |
3 | 315, 4683 |
7 | 105, 1561 |
15, 223 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 3 x 7 x 15 x 223 = 140490
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 8/140490
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 40/630,5424/9366 is 8/140490
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 630,9366 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(630,9366) = 42
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(630,9366) x common factors =42 x 1 = 42
LCM(630,9366) = ( 630 × 9366 ) / 42
LCM(630,9366) = 5900580 / 42
LCM(630,9366) = 140490
