Lets's calculate LCM of 883,972
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 858276
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/858276
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5494/883,8782/972 is 2/858276
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 883,972 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(883,972) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(883,972) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(883,972) = ( 883 × 972 ) / 1
LCM(883,972) = 858276 / 1
LCM(883,972) = 858276
