Lets's calculate LCM of 250,6945
5 | 250, 6945 |
50, 1389 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 5 x 50 x 1389 = 347250
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 26/347250
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 4888/250,4238/6945 is 26/347250
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 250,6945 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(250,6945) = 5
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(250,6945) x common factors =5 x 1 = 5
LCM(250,6945) = ( 250 × 6945 ) / 5
LCM(250,6945) = 1736250 / 5
LCM(250,6945) = 347250
