Lets's calculate LCM of 956,5159
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 4932004
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 10/4932004
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 4200/956,5870/5159 is 10/4932004
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 956,5159 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(956,5159) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(956,5159) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(956,5159) = ( 956 × 5159 ) / 1
LCM(956,5159) = 4932004 / 1
LCM(956,5159) = 4932004
