Lets's calculate LCM of 245,131
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 32095
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/32095
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 7724/245,1542/131 is 2/32095
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 245,131 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(245,131) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(245,131) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(245,131) = ( 245 × 131 ) / 1
LCM(245,131) = 32095 / 1
LCM(245,131) = 32095
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
