So the greatest common factor 5368,7256 is 8.
Lets's calculate LCM of 996,511
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 508956
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 8/508956
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5368/996,7256/511 is 8/508956
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 996,511 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(996,511) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(996,511) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(996,511) = ( 996 × 511 ) / 1
LCM(996,511) = 508956 / 1
LCM(996,511) = 508956
