:1,3,5,15,199,597,995,2985
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 2250,2985 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 2250,2985 is 15.
Lets's calculate LCM of 131,572
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 74932
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 15/74932
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2250/131,2985/572 is 15/74932
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 131,572 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(131,572) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(131,572) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(131,572) = ( 131 × 572 ) / 1
LCM(131,572) = 74932 / 1
LCM(131,572) = 74932
