Lets's calculate LCM of 517,290
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 149930
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/149930
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 7502/517,5056/290 is 2/149930
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 517,290 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(517,290) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(517,290) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(517,290) = ( 517 × 290 ) / 1
LCM(517,290) = 149930 / 1
LCM(517,290) = 149930
