So the greatest common factor 155,5150 is 5.
Lets's calculate LCM of 595,5742
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 3416490
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 5/3416490
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 155/595,5150/5742 is 5/3416490
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 595,5742 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(595,5742) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(595,5742) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(595,5742) = ( 595 × 5742 ) / 1
LCM(595,5742) = 3416490 / 1
LCM(595,5742) = 3416490
