So the greatest common factor 5257,6811 is 7.
Lets's calculate LCM of 987,5185
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 5117595
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 7/5117595
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5257/987,6811/5185 is 7/5117595
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 987,5185 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(987,5185) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(987,5185) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(987,5185) = ( 987 × 5185 ) / 1
LCM(987,5185) = 5117595 / 1
LCM(987,5185) = 5117595
