So the greatest common factor 2553,3159 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 311,927
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 288297
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/288297
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2553/311,3159/927 is 3/288297
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 311,927 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(311,927) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(311,927) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(311,927) = ( 311 × 927 ) / 1
LCM(311,927) = 288297 / 1
LCM(311,927) = 288297
