So the greatest common factor 5481,2176 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 500,1635
5 | 500, 1635 |
100, 327 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 5 x 100 x 327 = 163500
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/163500
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5481/500,2176/1635 is 1/163500
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 500,1635 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(500,1635) = 5
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(500,1635) x common factors =5 x 1 = 5
LCM(500,1635) = ( 500 × 1635 ) / 5
LCM(500,1635) = 817500 / 5
LCM(500,1635) = 163500
