So the greatest common factor 5922,6980 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 29,556
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 16124
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/16124
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5922/29,6980/556 is 2/16124
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 29,556 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(29,556) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(29,556) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(29,556) = ( 29 × 556 ) / 1
LCM(29,556) = 16124 / 1
LCM(29,556) = 16124
