Lets's calculate LCM of 533,6322
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 3369626
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/3369626
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2158/533,5544/6322 is 2/3369626
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 533,6322 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(533,6322) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(533,6322) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(533,6322) = ( 533 × 6322 ) / 1
LCM(533,6322) = 3369626 / 1
LCM(533,6322) = 3369626
