Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 4551,2171 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 4551,2171 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 240,4255
5 | 240, 4255 |
48, 851 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 5 x 48 x 851 = 204240
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/204240
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 4551/240,2171/4255 is 1/204240
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 240,4255 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(240,4255) = 5
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(240,4255) x common factors =5 x 1 = 5
LCM(240,4255) = ( 240 × 4255 ) / 5
LCM(240,4255) = 1021200 / 5
LCM(240,4255) = 204240
