Lets's calculate LCM of 404,145
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 58580
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/58580
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 8732/404,2698/145 is 2/58580
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 404,145 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(404,145) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(404,145) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(404,145) = ( 404 × 145 ) / 1
LCM(404,145) = 58580 / 1
LCM(404,145) = 58580
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
