So the greatest common factor 2977,1526 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 500,224
2 | 500, 224 |
2 | 250, 112 |
125, 56 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 125 x 56 = 28000
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/28000
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2977/500,1526/224 is 1/28000
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 500,224 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(500,224) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(500,224) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(500,224) = ( 500 × 224 ) / 4
LCM(500,224) = 112000 / 4
LCM(500,224) = 28000
