We found the factors 50,2744 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 50,2744 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 272,2455
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 667760
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/667760
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 50/272,2744/2455 is 2/667760
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 272,2455 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(272,2455) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(272,2455) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(272,2455) = ( 272 × 2455 ) / 1
LCM(272,2455) = 667760 / 1
LCM(272,2455) = 667760
