So the greatest common factor 55,2170 is 5.
Lets's calculate LCM of 145,3619
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 524755
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 5/524755
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 55/145,2170/3619 is 5/524755
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 145,3619 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(145,3619) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(145,3619) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(145,3619) = ( 145 × 3619 ) / 1
LCM(145,3619) = 524755 / 1
LCM(145,3619) = 524755
