Lets's calculate LCM of 99,5834
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 577566
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/577566
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 971/99,640/5834 is 1/577566
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 99,5834 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(99,5834) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(99,5834) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(99,5834) = ( 99 × 5834 ) / 1
LCM(99,5834) = 577566 / 1
LCM(99,5834) = 577566
