Lets's calculate LCM of 601,7294
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 4383694
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/4383694
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5298/601,8697/7294 is 3/4383694
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 601,7294 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(601,7294) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(601,7294) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(601,7294) = ( 601 × 7294 ) / 1
LCM(601,7294) = 4383694 / 1
LCM(601,7294) = 4383694
