Lets's calculate LCM of 274,7480
2 | 274, 7480 |
137, 3740 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 137 x 3740 = 1024760
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/1024760
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 72/274,6154/7480 is 2/1024760
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 274,7480 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(274,7480) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(274,7480) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(274,7480) = ( 274 × 7480 ) / 2
LCM(274,7480) = 2049520 / 2
LCM(274,7480) = 1024760
