5 | 425, 6835 |
85, 1367 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 5 x 85 x 1367 = 580975
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/580975
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3562/425,4218/6835 is 2/580975
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 425,6835 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(425,6835) = 5
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(425,6835) x common factors =5 x 1 = 5
LCM(425,6835) = ( 425 × 6835 ) / 5
LCM(425,6835) = 2904875 / 5
LCM(425,6835) = 580975
