Lets's calculate LCM of 49,2028
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 99372
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/99372
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 526/49,296/2028 is 2/99372
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 49,2028 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(49,2028) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(49,2028) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(49,2028) = ( 49 × 2028 ) / 1
LCM(49,2028) = 99372 / 1
LCM(49,2028) = 99372
