Lets's calculate LCM of 5982,2641
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 15798462
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/15798462
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 762/5982,536/2641 is 2/15798462
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 5982,2641 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(5982,2641) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(5982,2641) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(5982,2641) = ( 5982 × 2641 ) / 1
LCM(5982,2641) = 15798462 / 1
LCM(5982,2641) = 15798462
