So the greatest common factor 5230,5996 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 312,2059
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 642408
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/642408
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5230/312,5996/2059 is 2/642408
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 312,2059 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(312,2059) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(312,2059) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(312,2059) = ( 312 × 2059 ) / 1
LCM(312,2059) = 642408 / 1
LCM(312,2059) = 642408
