Lets's calculate LCM of 551,2500
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 1377500
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 12/1377500
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 24/551,12/2500 is 12/1377500
Least Common Multiple of 551,2500 with GCF Formula
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 551,2500 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(551,2500) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(551,2500) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(551,2500) = ( 551 × 2500 ) / 1
LCM(551,2500) = 1377500 / 1
LCM(551,2500) = 1377500
