So the greatest common factor 251,492 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 90,6620
2 | 90, 6620 |
5 | 45, 3310 |
9, 662 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 5 x 9 x 662 = 59580
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/59580
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 251/90,492/6620 is 1/59580
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 90,6620 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(90,6620) = 10
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(90,6620) x common factors =10 x 1 = 10
LCM(90,6620) = ( 90 × 6620 ) / 10
LCM(90,6620) = 595800 / 10
LCM(90,6620) = 59580
