13 | 637, 4875 |
49, 375 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 13 x 49 x 375 = 238875
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 29/238875
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5017/637,2146/4875 is 29/238875
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 637,4875 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(637,4875) = 13
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(637,4875) x common factors =13 x 1 = 13
LCM(637,4875) = ( 637 × 4875 ) / 13
LCM(637,4875) = 3105375 / 13
LCM(637,4875) = 238875
