So the greatest common factor 5275,1224 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 972,140
2 | 972, 140 |
2 | 486, 70 |
243, 35 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 2 x 243 x 35 = 34020
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/34020
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5275/972,1224/140 is 1/34020
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 972,140 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(972,140) = 4
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(972,140) x common factors =4 x 1 = 4
LCM(972,140) = ( 972 × 140 ) / 4
LCM(972,140) = 136080 / 4
LCM(972,140) = 34020
