Lets's calculate LCM of 997,831
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 828507
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/828507
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5552/997,5053/831 is 1/828507
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 997,831 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(997,831) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(997,831) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(997,831) = ( 997 × 831 ) / 1
LCM(997,831) = 828507 / 1
LCM(997,831) = 828507
