Lets's calculate LCM of 378,5981
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 2260818
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/2260818
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 9973/378,5062/5981 is 1/2260818
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 378,5981 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(378,5981) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(378,5981) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(378,5981) = ( 378 × 5981 ) / 1
LCM(378,5981) = 2260818 / 1
LCM(378,5981) = 2260818
