Lets's calculate LCM of 296,5747
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 1701112
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 29/1701112
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 203/296,4959/5747 is 29/1701112
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 296,5747 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(296,5747) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(296,5747) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(296,5747) = ( 296 × 5747 ) / 1
LCM(296,5747) = 1701112 / 1
LCM(296,5747) = 1701112
