Lets's calculate LCM of 879,5101
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 4483779
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/4483779
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5618/879,3048/5101 is 2/4483779
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 879,5101 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(879,5101) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(879,5101) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(879,5101) = ( 879 × 5101 ) / 1
LCM(879,5101) = 4483779 / 1
LCM(879,5101) = 4483779
