Lets's calculate LCM of 307,5635
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 1729945
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/1729945
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 9974/307,1798/5635 is 2/1729945
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 307,5635 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(307,5635) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(307,5635) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(307,5635) = ( 307 × 5635 ) / 1
LCM(307,5635) = 1729945 / 1
LCM(307,5635) = 1729945
