So the greatest common factor 5231,5545 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 480,374
2 | 480, 374 |
240, 187 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 240 x 187 = 89760
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/89760
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5231/480,5545/374 is 1/89760
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 480,374 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(480,374) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(480,374) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(480,374) = ( 480 × 374 ) / 2
LCM(480,374) = 179520 / 2
LCM(480,374) = 89760
