Lets's calculate LCM of 577,475
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 274075
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/274075
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5294/577,9980/475 is 2/274075
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 577,475 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(577,475) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(577,475) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(577,475) = ( 577 × 475 ) / 1
LCM(577,475) = 274075 / 1
LCM(577,475) = 274075
