So the greatest common factor 1052,3318 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 979,271
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 265309
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/265309
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1052/979,3318/271 is 2/265309
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 979,271 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(979,271) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(979,271) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(979,271) = ( 979 × 271 ) / 1
LCM(979,271) = 265309 / 1
LCM(979,271) = 265309
