So the greatest common factor 2970,5538 is 6.
Lets's calculate LCM of 521,1210
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 630410
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 6/630410
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2970/521,5538/1210 is 6/630410
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 521,1210 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(521,1210) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(521,1210) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(521,1210) = ( 521 × 1210 ) / 1
LCM(521,1210) = 630410 / 1
LCM(521,1210) = 630410
