We found the factors 5150,2840 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 5150,2840 is 10.
Lets's calculate LCM of 671,472
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 316712
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 10/316712
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5150/671,2840/472 is 10/316712
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 671,472 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(671,472) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(671,472) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(671,472) = ( 671 × 472 ) / 1
LCM(671,472) = 316712 / 1
LCM(671,472) = 316712
