So the greatest common factor 119,4221 is 7.
Lets's calculate LCM of 255,2001
3 | 255, 2001 |
85, 667 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 85 x 667 = 170085
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 7/170085
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 119/255,4221/2001 is 7/170085
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 255,2001 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(255,2001) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(255,2001) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(255,2001) = ( 255 × 2001 ) / 3
LCM(255,2001) = 510255 / 3
LCM(255,2001) = 170085
