Lets's calculate LCM of 155,218
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 33790
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/33790
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 551/155,2540/218 is 1/33790
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 155,218 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(155,218) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(155,218) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(155,218) = ( 155 × 218 ) / 1
LCM(155,218) = 33790 / 1
LCM(155,218) = 33790
