| 2 | 978, 5404 |
| 489, 2702 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 489 x 2702 = 2642556
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/2642556
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 982/978,7359/5404 is 1/2642556
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 978,5404 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(978,5404) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(978,5404) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(978,5404) = ( 978 × 5404 ) / 2
LCM(978,5404) = 5285112 / 2
LCM(978,5404) = 2642556
