So the greatest common factor 5202,1791 is 9.
Lets's calculate LCM of 550,448
2 | 550, 448 |
275, 224 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 275 x 224 = 123200
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 9/123200
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5202/550,1791/448 is 9/123200
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 550,448 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(550,448) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(550,448) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(550,448) = ( 550 × 448 ) / 2
LCM(550,448) = 246400 / 2
LCM(550,448) = 123200
