So the greatest common factor 5232,9972 is 12.
Lets's calculate LCM of 79,496
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 39184
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 12/39184
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5232/79,9972/496 is 12/39184
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 79,496 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(79,496) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(79,496) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(79,496) = ( 79 × 496 ) / 1
LCM(79,496) = 39184 / 1
LCM(79,496) = 39184
