Lets's calculate LCM of 383,5521
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 2114543
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/2114543
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1257/383,2535/5521 is 3/2114543
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 383,5521 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(383,5521) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(383,5521) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(383,5521) = ( 383 × 5521 ) / 1
LCM(383,5521) = 2114543 / 1
LCM(383,5521) = 2114543
