Lets's calculate LCM of 550,9940
2 | 550, 9940 |
5 | 275, 4970 |
55, 994 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 5 x 55 x 994 = 546700
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 9/546700
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5751/550,8271/9940 is 9/546700
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 550,9940 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(550,9940) = 10
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(550,9940) x common factors =10 x 1 = 10
LCM(550,9940) = ( 550 × 9940 ) / 10
LCM(550,9940) = 5467000 / 10
LCM(550,9940) = 546700
