Lets's calculate LCM of 725,500
5 | 725, 500 |
5 | 145, 100 |
29, 20 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 5 x 5 x 29 x 20 = 14500
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/14500
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 397/725,5485/500 is 1/14500
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 725,500 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(725,500) = 25
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(725,500) x common factors =25 x 1 = 25
LCM(725,500) = ( 725 × 500 ) / 25
LCM(725,500) = 362500 / 25
LCM(725,500) = 14500
