So the greatest common factor 5988,1431 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 523,7099
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 3712777
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/3712777
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5988/523,1431/7099 is 3/3712777
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 523,7099 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(523,7099) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(523,7099) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(523,7099) = ( 523 × 7099 ) / 1
LCM(523,7099) = 3712777 / 1
LCM(523,7099) = 3712777
