So the greatest common factor 8934,3684 is 6.
Lets's calculate LCM of 40,760
2 | 40, 760 |
2 | 20, 380 |
2 | 10, 190 |
5 | 5, 95 |
1, 19 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 2 x 5 x 1 x 19 = 760
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 6/760
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 8934/40,3684/760 is 6/760
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 40,760 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(40,760) = 40
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(40,760) x common factors =40 x 1 = 40
LCM(40,760) = ( 40 × 760 ) / 40
LCM(40,760) = 30400 / 40
LCM(40,760) = 760
