Lets's calculate LCM of 640,115
5 | 640, 115 |
128, 23 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 5 x 128 x 23 = 14720
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/14720
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5526/640,5501/115 is 1/14720
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 640,115 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(640,115) = 5
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(640,115) x common factors =5 x 1 = 5
LCM(640,115) = ( 640 × 115 ) / 5
LCM(640,115) = 73600 / 5
LCM(640,115) = 14720
