Lets's calculate LCM of 362,4853
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 1756786
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/1756786
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5974/362,5960/4853 is 2/1756786
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 362,4853 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(362,4853) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(362,4853) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(362,4853) = ( 362 × 4853 ) / 1
LCM(362,4853) = 1756786 / 1
LCM(362,4853) = 1756786
