Lets's calculate LCM of 514,9577
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 4922578
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 13/4922578
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5642/514,6981/9577 is 13/4922578
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 514,9577 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(514,9577) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(514,9577) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(514,9577) = ( 514 × 9577 ) / 1
LCM(514,9577) = 4922578 / 1
LCM(514,9577) = 4922578
