Lets's calculate LCM of 310,2635
5 | 310, 2635 |
31 | 62, 527 |
2, 17 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 5 x 31 x 2 x 17 = 5270
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/5270
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5030/310,2142/2635 is 2/5270
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 310,2635 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(310,2635) = 155
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(310,2635) x common factors =155 x 1 = 155
LCM(310,2635) = ( 310 × 2635 ) / 155
LCM(310,2635) = 816850 / 155
LCM(310,2635) = 5270
