So the greatest common factor 25,1150 is 25.
Lets's calculate LCM of 428,8500
2 | 428, 8500 |
2 | 214, 4250 |
107, 2125 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 107 x 2125 = 909500
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 25/909500
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 25/428,1150/8500 is 25/909500
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 428,8500 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(428,8500) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(428,8500) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(428,8500) = ( 428 × 8500 ) / 4
LCM(428,8500) = 3638000 / 4
LCM(428,8500) = 909500
