Lets's calculate LCM of 971,5283
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 5129793
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 5/5129793
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 6915/971,6985/5283 is 5/5129793
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 971,5283 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(971,5283) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(971,5283) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(971,5283) = ( 971 × 5283 ) / 1
LCM(971,5283) = 5129793 / 1
LCM(971,5283) = 5129793
