Lets's calculate LCM of 5351,8882
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 47527582
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 6/47527582
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 978/5351,546/8882 is 6/47527582
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 5351,8882 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(5351,8882) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(5351,8882) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(5351,8882) = ( 5351 × 8882 ) / 1
LCM(5351,8882) = 47527582 / 1
LCM(5351,8882) = 47527582
