Lets's calculate LCM of 522,8383
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 4375926
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/4375926
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2990/522,6557/8383 is 1/4375926
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 522,8383 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(522,8383) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(522,8383) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(522,8383) = ( 522 × 8383 ) / 1
LCM(522,8383) = 4375926 / 1
LCM(522,8383) = 4375926
