So the greatest common factor 5424,4038 is 6.
Lets's calculate LCM of 632,871
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 550472
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 6/550472
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5424/632,4038/871 is 6/550472
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 632,871 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(632,871) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(632,871) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(632,871) = ( 632 × 871 ) / 1
LCM(632,871) = 550472 / 1
LCM(632,871) = 550472
