1,2,743,1486
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 8900,1486 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 8900,1486 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 740,9778
2 | 740, 9778 |
370, 4889 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 370 x 4889 = 3617860
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/3617860
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 8900/740,1486/9778 is 2/3617860
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 740,9778 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(740,9778) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(740,9778) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(740,9778) = ( 740 × 9778 ) / 2
LCM(740,9778) = 7235720 / 2
LCM(740,9778) = 3617860
