Lets's calculate LCM of 49,350
7 | 49, 350 |
7, 50 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 7 x 7 x 50 = 2450
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/2450
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2532/49,5738/350 is 2/2450
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 49,350 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(49,350) = 7
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(49,350) x common factors =7 x 1 = 7
LCM(49,350) = ( 49 × 350 ) / 7
LCM(49,350) = 17150 / 7
LCM(49,350) = 2450
