Lets's calculate LCM of 985,5354
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 5273690
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/5273690
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 6242/985,1450/5354 is 2/5273690
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 985,5354 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(985,5354) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(985,5354) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(985,5354) = ( 985 × 5354 ) / 1
LCM(985,5354) = 5273690 / 1
LCM(985,5354) = 5273690
