1,5,1451,7255
Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 5675,7255 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 5675,7255 is 5.
Lets's calculate LCM of 49,520
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 25480
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 5/25480
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5675/49,7255/520 is 5/25480
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 49,520 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(49,520) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(49,520) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(49,520) = ( 49 × 520 ) / 1
LCM(49,520) = 25480 / 1
LCM(49,520) = 25480
