So the greatest common factor 8438,4302 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 740,8002
2 | 740, 8002 |
370, 4001 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 370 x 4001 = 2960740
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/2960740
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 8438/740,4302/8002 is 2/2960740
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 740,8002 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(740,8002) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(740,8002) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(740,8002) = ( 740 × 8002 ) / 2
LCM(740,8002) = 5921480 / 2
LCM(740,8002) = 2960740
