Lets's calculate GCF of 29,73
∴ So GCF of numbers is 1 because of no common factors present between them.
Lets's calculate LCM of 497,5132
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 2550604
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/2550604
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 29/497,73/5132 is 1/2550604
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 497,5132 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(497,5132) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(497,5132) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(497,5132) = ( 497 × 5132 ) / 1
LCM(497,5132) = 2550604 / 1
LCM(497,5132) = 2550604
