So the greatest common factor 5873,6118 is 7.
Lets's calculate LCM of 334,5957
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 1989638
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 7/1989638
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5873/334,6118/5957 is 7/1989638
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 334,5957 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(334,5957) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(334,5957) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(334,5957) = ( 334 × 5957 ) / 1
LCM(334,5957) = 1989638 / 1
LCM(334,5957) = 1989638
