So the greatest common factor 5096,5908 is 28.
Lets's calculate LCM of 893,246
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 219678
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 28/219678
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5096/893,5908/246 is 28/219678
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 893,246 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(893,246) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(893,246) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(893,246) = ( 893 × 246 ) / 1
LCM(893,246) = 219678 / 1
LCM(893,246) = 219678
