So the greatest common factor 3144,3550 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 308,2650
2 | 308, 2650 |
154, 1325 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 154 x 1325 = 408100
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/408100
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3144/308,3550/2650 is 2/408100
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 308,2650 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(308,2650) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(308,2650) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(308,2650) = ( 308 × 2650 ) / 2
LCM(308,2650) = 816200 / 2
LCM(308,2650) = 408100
