So the greatest common factor 1086,2272 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 551,8079
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 4451529
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/4451529
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1086/551,2272/8079 is 2/4451529
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 551,8079 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(551,8079) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(551,8079) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(551,8079) = ( 551 × 8079 ) / 1
LCM(551,8079) = 4451529 / 1
LCM(551,8079) = 4451529
