1,5,1493,7465
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 5250,7465 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 5250,7465 is 5.
Lets's calculate LCM of 32,499
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 15968
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 5/15968
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5250/32,7465/499 is 5/15968
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 32,499 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(32,499) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(32,499) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(32,499) = ( 32 × 499 ) / 1
LCM(32,499) = 15968 / 1
LCM(32,499) = 15968
