So the greatest common factor 455,550 is 5.
Lets's calculate LCM of 507,236
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 119652
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 5/119652
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 455/507,550/236 is 5/119652
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 507,236 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(507,236) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(507,236) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(507,236) = ( 507 × 236 ) / 1
LCM(507,236) = 119652 / 1
LCM(507,236) = 119652
