So the greatest common factor 5018,7520 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 29,251
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 7279
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/7279
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5018/29,7520/251 is 2/7279
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 29,251 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(29,251) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(29,251) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(29,251) = ( 29 × 251 ) / 1
LCM(29,251) = 7279 / 1
LCM(29,251) = 7279
