Lets's calculate LCM of 219,5242
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 1147998
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/1147998
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 7396/219,1983/5242 is 1/1147998
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 219,5242 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(219,5242) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(219,5242) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(219,5242) = ( 219 × 5242 ) / 1
LCM(219,5242) = 1147998 / 1
LCM(219,5242) = 1147998
