Lets's calculate LCM of 653,5091
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 3324423
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/3324423
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 4972/653,1170/5091 is 2/3324423
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 653,5091 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(653,5091) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(653,5091) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(653,5091) = ( 653 × 5091 ) / 1
LCM(653,5091) = 3324423 / 1
LCM(653,5091) = 3324423
