Lets's calculate LCM of 835,285
5 | 835, 285 |
167, 57 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 5 x 167 x 57 = 47595
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/47595
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 4550/835,5974/285 is 2/47595
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 835,285 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(835,285) = 5
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(835,285) x common factors =5 x 1 = 5
LCM(835,285) = ( 835 × 285 ) / 5
LCM(835,285) = 237975 / 5
LCM(835,285) = 47595
