Lets's calculate LCM of 309,5524
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 1706916
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/1706916
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2996/309,6274/5524 is 2/1706916
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 309,5524 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(309,5524) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(309,5524) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(309,5524) = ( 309 × 5524 ) / 1
LCM(309,5524) = 1706916 / 1
LCM(309,5524) = 1706916
