We found the factors 2021,2251 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 2021,2251 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 812,5536
2 | 812, 5536 |
2 | 406, 2768 |
203, 1384 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 203 x 1384 = 1123808
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/1123808
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2021/812,2251/5536 is 1/1123808
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 812,5536 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(812,5536) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(812,5536) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(812,5536) = ( 812 × 5536 ) / 4
LCM(812,5536) = 4495232 / 4
LCM(812,5536) = 1123808
