Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 5248,5536 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 5248,5536 is 32.
Lets's calculate LCM of 225,692
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 155700
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 32/155700
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5248/225,5536/692 is 32/155700
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 225,692 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(225,692) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(225,692) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(225,692) = ( 225 × 692 ) / 1
LCM(225,692) = 155700 / 1
LCM(225,692) = 155700
