Lets's calculate LCM of 509,5132
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 2612188
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/2612188
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 4862/509,5504/5132 is 2/2612188
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 509,5132 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(509,5132) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(509,5132) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(509,5132) = ( 509 × 5132 ) / 1
LCM(509,5132) = 2612188 / 1
LCM(509,5132) = 2612188
