Lets's calculate LCM of 541,7720
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 4176520
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/4176520
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5984/541,4990/7720 is 2/4176520
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 541,7720 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(541,7720) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(541,7720) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(541,7720) = ( 541 × 7720 ) / 1
LCM(541,7720) = 4176520 / 1
LCM(541,7720) = 4176520
