So the greatest common factor 7142,1559 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 550,2405
5 | 550, 2405 |
110, 481 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 5 x 110 x 481 = 264550
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/264550
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 7142/550,1559/2405 is 1/264550
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 550,2405 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(550,2405) = 5
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(550,2405) x common factors =5 x 1 = 5
LCM(550,2405) = ( 550 × 2405 ) / 5
LCM(550,2405) = 1322750 / 5
LCM(550,2405) = 264550
