Lets's calculate GCF of 2221,5125
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Now, list down the factors of 2221
:1,2221
Now, list down the factors of 5125
:1,5,25,41,125,205,1025,5125
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 2221,5125 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 2221,5125 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 748,163
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 121924
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/121924
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2221/748,5125/163 is 1/121924
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 748,163 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(748,163) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(748,163) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(748,163) = ( 748 × 163 ) / 1
LCM(748,163) = 121924 / 1
LCM(748,163) = 121924
