Lets's calculate LCM of 740,7371
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 5454540
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 14/5454540
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 854/740,3248/7371 is 14/5454540
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 740,7371 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(740,7371) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(740,7371) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(740,7371) = ( 740 × 7371 ) / 1
LCM(740,7371) = 5454540 / 1
LCM(740,7371) = 5454540
