Lets's calculate LCM of 995,2455
5 | 995, 2455 |
199, 491 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 5 x 199 x 491 = 488545
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/488545
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 7157/995,5324/2455 is 1/488545
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 995,2455 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(995,2455) = 5
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(995,2455) x common factors =5 x 1 = 5
LCM(995,2455) = ( 995 × 2455 ) / 5
LCM(995,2455) = 2442725 / 5
LCM(995,2455) = 488545
