Lets's calculate LCM of 450,5100
2 | 450, 5100 |
3 | 225, 2550 |
5 | 75, 850 |
5 | 15, 170 |
3, 34 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 3 x 5 x 5 x 3 x 34 = 15300
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 16/15300
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2288/450,5728/5100 is 16/15300
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 450,5100 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(450,5100) = 150
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(450,5100) x common factors =150 x 1 = 150
LCM(450,5100) = ( 450 × 5100 ) / 150
LCM(450,5100) = 2295000 / 150
LCM(450,5100) = 15300
