So the greatest common factor 5200,1295 is 5.
Lets's calculate LCM of 971,637
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 618527
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 5/618527
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5200/971,1295/637 is 5/618527
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 971,637 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(971,637) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(971,637) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(971,637) = ( 971 × 637 ) / 1
LCM(971,637) = 618527 / 1
LCM(971,637) = 618527
