Lets's calculate LCM of 475,5120
5 | 475, 5120 |
95, 1024 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 5 x 95 x 1024 = 486400
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/486400
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 6874/475,8884/5120 is 2/486400
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 475,5120 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(475,5120) = 5
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(475,5120) x common factors =5 x 1 = 5
LCM(475,5120) = ( 475 × 5120 ) / 5
LCM(475,5120) = 2432000 / 5
LCM(475,5120) = 486400
