So the greatest common factor 503,1540 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 600,4886
2 | 600, 4886 |
300, 2443 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 300 x 2443 = 1465800
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/1465800
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 503/600,1540/4886 is 1/1465800
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 600,4886 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(600,4886) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(600,4886) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(600,4886) = ( 600 × 4886 ) / 2
LCM(600,4886) = 2931600 / 2
LCM(600,4886) = 1465800
