So the greatest common factor 310,558 is 62.
Lets's calculate LCM of 40,5355
5 | 40, 5355 |
8, 1071 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 5 x 8 x 1071 = 42840
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 62/42840
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 310/40,558/5355 is 62/42840
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 40,5355 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(40,5355) = 5
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(40,5355) x common factors =5 x 1 = 5
LCM(40,5355) = ( 40 × 5355 ) / 5
LCM(40,5355) = 214200 / 5
LCM(40,5355) = 42840
