Lets's calculate LCM of 983,1164
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 1144212
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/1144212
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5432/983,6142/1164 is 2/1144212
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 983,1164 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(983,1164) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(983,1164) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(983,1164) = ( 983 × 1164 ) / 1
LCM(983,1164) = 1144212 / 1
LCM(983,1164) = 1144212
