So the greatest common factor 5421,8162 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 359,982
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 352538
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/352538
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5421/359,8162/982 is 1/352538
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 359,982 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(359,982) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(359,982) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(359,982) = ( 359 × 982 ) / 1
LCM(359,982) = 352538 / 1
LCM(359,982) = 352538
