Lets's calculate LCM of 975,502
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 489450
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 12/489450
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 324/975,168/502 is 12/489450
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 975,502 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(975,502) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(975,502) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(975,502) = ( 975 × 502 ) / 1
LCM(975,502) = 489450 / 1
LCM(975,502) = 489450
