Lets's calculate LCM of 305,5010
5 | 305, 5010 |
61, 1002 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 5 x 61 x 1002 = 305610
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/305610
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 4261/305,2172/5010 is 1/305610
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 305,5010 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(305,5010) = 5
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(305,5010) x common factors =5 x 1 = 5
LCM(305,5010) = ( 305 × 5010 ) / 5
LCM(305,5010) = 1528050 / 5
LCM(305,5010) = 305610
