Lets's calculate LCM of 538,5891
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 3169358
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/3169358
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 105/538,7226/5891 is 1/3169358
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 538,5891 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(538,5891) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(538,5891) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(538,5891) = ( 538 × 5891 ) / 1
LCM(538,5891) = 3169358 / 1
LCM(538,5891) = 3169358
