Lets's calculate LCM of 109,5591
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 609419
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/609419
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3537/109,9042/5591 is 3/609419
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 109,5591 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(109,5591) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(109,5591) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(109,5591) = ( 109 × 5591 ) / 1
LCM(109,5591) = 609419 / 1
LCM(109,5591) = 609419
