Lets's calculate LCM of 5970,8617
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 51443490
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/51443490
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 302/5970,978/8617 is 2/51443490
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 5970,8617 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(5970,8617) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(5970,8617) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(5970,8617) = ( 5970 × 8617 ) / 1
LCM(5970,8617) = 51443490 / 1
LCM(5970,8617) = 51443490
