Lets's calculate LCM of 833,675
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 562275
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/562275
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5056/833,3038/675 is 2/562275
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 833,675 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(833,675) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(833,675) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(833,675) = ( 833 × 675 ) / 1
LCM(833,675) = 562275 / 1
LCM(833,675) = 562275
