We found the factors 51,9962 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 51,9962 is 17.
Lets's calculate LCM of 977,5447
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 5321719
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 17/5321719
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 51/977,9962/5447 is 17/5321719
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 977,5447 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(977,5447) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(977,5447) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(977,5447) = ( 977 × 5447 ) / 1
LCM(977,5447) = 5321719 / 1
LCM(977,5447) = 5321719
