Lets's calculate LCM of 809,970
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 784730
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/784730
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5246/809,9242/970 is 2/784730
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 809,970 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(809,970) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(809,970) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(809,970) = ( 809 × 970 ) / 1
LCM(809,970) = 784730 / 1
LCM(809,970) = 784730
