We found the factors 2005,2480 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 2005,2480 is 5.
Lets's calculate LCM of 68,855
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 58140
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 5/58140
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2005/68,2480/855 is 5/58140
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 68,855 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(68,855) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(68,855) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(68,855) = ( 68 × 855 ) / 1
LCM(68,855) = 58140 / 1
LCM(68,855) = 58140
