So the greatest common factor 7225,2542 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 385,700
5 | 385, 700 |
7 | 77, 140 |
11, 20 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 5 x 7 x 11 x 20 = 7700
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/7700
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 7225/385,2542/700 is 1/7700
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 385,700 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(385,700) = 35
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(385,700) x common factors =35 x 1 = 35
LCM(385,700) = ( 385 × 700 ) / 35
LCM(385,700) = 269500 / 35
LCM(385,700) = 7700
