So the greatest common factor 5076,9012 is 12.
Lets's calculate LCM of 973,596
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 579908
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 12/579908
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5076/973,9012/596 is 12/579908
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 973,596 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(973,596) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(973,596) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(973,596) = ( 973 × 596 ) / 1
LCM(973,596) = 579908 / 1
LCM(973,596) = 579908
