Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 5216,4100 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 5216,4100 is 4.
Lets's calculate LCM of 203,251
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 50953
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/50953
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5216/203,4100/251 is 4/50953
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 203,251 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(203,251) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(203,251) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(203,251) = ( 203 × 251 ) / 1
LCM(203,251) = 50953 / 1
LCM(203,251) = 50953
