Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 5050,9575 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 5050,9575 is 25.
Lets's calculate LCM of 384,479
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 183936
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 25/183936
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5050/384,9575/479 is 25/183936
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 384,479 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(384,479) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(384,479) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(384,479) = ( 384 × 479 ) / 1
LCM(384,479) = 183936 / 1
LCM(384,479) = 183936
