Lets's calculate LCM of 53,186
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 9858
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/9858
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2491/53,5898/186 is 1/9858
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 53,186 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(53,186) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(53,186) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(53,186) = ( 53 × 186 ) / 1
LCM(53,186) = 9858 / 1
LCM(53,186) = 9858
