So the greatest common factor 251,966 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 30,5725
5 | 30, 5725 |
6, 1145 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 5 x 6 x 1145 = 34350
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/34350
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 251/30,966/5725 is 1/34350
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 30,5725 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(30,5725) = 5
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(30,5725) x common factors =5 x 1 = 5
LCM(30,5725) = ( 30 × 5725 ) / 5
LCM(30,5725) = 171750 / 5
LCM(30,5725) = 34350
