So the greatest common factor 2282,5540 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 403,1288
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 519064
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/519064
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2282/403,5540/1288 is 2/519064
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 403,1288 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(403,1288) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(403,1288) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(403,1288) = ( 403 × 1288 ) / 1
LCM(403,1288) = 519064 / 1
LCM(403,1288) = 519064
