So the greatest common factor 835,480 is 5.
Lets's calculate LCM of 74,5466
2 | 74, 5466 |
37, 2733 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 37 x 2733 = 202242
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 5/202242
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 835/74,480/5466 is 5/202242
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 74,5466 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(74,5466) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(74,5466) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(74,5466) = ( 74 × 5466 ) / 2
LCM(74,5466) = 404484 / 2
LCM(74,5466) = 202242
