So the greatest common factor 5521,9080 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 298,172
2 | 298, 172 |
149, 86 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 149 x 86 = 25628
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/25628
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5521/298,9080/172 is 1/25628
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 298,172 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(298,172) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(298,172) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(298,172) = ( 298 × 172 ) / 2
LCM(298,172) = 51256 / 2
LCM(298,172) = 25628
