Lets's calculate LCM of 150,595
5 | 150, 595 |
30, 119 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 5 x 30 x 119 = 17850
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/17850
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 4172/150,5668/595 is 4/17850
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 150,595 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(150,595) = 5
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(150,595) x common factors =5 x 1 = 5
LCM(150,595) = ( 150 × 595 ) / 5
LCM(150,595) = 89250 / 5
LCM(150,595) = 17850
