So the greatest common factor 5096,8240 is 8.
Lets's calculate LCM of 667,5437
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 3626479
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 8/3626479
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5096/667,8240/5437 is 8/3626479
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 667,5437 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(667,5437) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(667,5437) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(667,5437) = ( 667 × 5437 ) / 1
LCM(667,5437) = 3626479 / 1
LCM(667,5437) = 3626479
