So the greatest common factor 5302,2971 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 986,314
2 | 986, 314 |
493, 157 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 493 x 157 = 154802
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/154802
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5302/986,2971/314 is 1/154802
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 986,314 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(986,314) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(986,314) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(986,314) = ( 986 × 314 ) / 2
LCM(986,314) = 309604 / 2
LCM(986,314) = 154802
