Lets's calculate LCM of 553,5517
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 3050901
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 7/3050901
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2121/553,2947/5517 is 7/3050901
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 553,5517 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(553,5517) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(553,5517) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(553,5517) = ( 553 × 5517 ) / 1
LCM(553,5517) = 3050901 / 1
LCM(553,5517) = 3050901
