Lets's calculate LCM of 7240,7448
2 | 7240, 7448 |
2 | 3620, 3724 |
2 | 1810, 1862 |
905, 931 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 2 x 905 x 931 = 6740440
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 47/6740440
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 940/7240,987/7448 is 47/6740440
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 7240,7448 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(7240,7448) = 8
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(7240,7448) x common factors =8 x 1 = 8
LCM(7240,7448) = ( 7240 × 7448 ) / 8
LCM(7240,7448) = 53923520 / 8
LCM(7240,7448) = 6740440
