Lets's calculate LCM of 316,5150
2 | 316, 5150 |
158, 2575 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 158 x 2575 = 813700
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/813700
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 6746/316,8172/5150 is 2/813700
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 316,5150 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(316,5150) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(316,5150) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(316,5150) = ( 316 × 5150 ) / 2
LCM(316,5150) = 1627400 / 2
LCM(316,5150) = 813700
