2 | 470, 5518 |
235, 2759 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 235 x 2759 = 1296730
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 31/1296730
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2573/470,7471/5518 is 31/1296730
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 470,5518 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(470,5518) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(470,5518) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(470,5518) = ( 470 × 5518 ) / 2
LCM(470,5518) = 2593460 / 2
LCM(470,5518) = 1296730
