Lets's calculate LCM of 665,2979
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 1981035
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/1981035
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5053/665,1698/2979 is 1/1981035
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 665,2979 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(665,2979) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(665,2979) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(665,2979) = ( 665 × 2979 ) / 1
LCM(665,2979) = 1981035 / 1
LCM(665,2979) = 1981035
