So the greatest common factor 5080,5942 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 659,7018
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 4624862
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/4624862
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5080/659,5942/7018 is 2/4624862
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 659,7018 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(659,7018) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(659,7018) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(659,7018) = ( 659 × 7018 ) / 1
LCM(659,7018) = 4624862 / 1
LCM(659,7018) = 4624862
