So the greatest common factor 5138,2175 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 854,659
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 562786
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/562786
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5138/854,2175/659 is 1/562786
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 854,659 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(854,659) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(854,659) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(854,659) = ( 854 × 659 ) / 1
LCM(854,659) = 562786 / 1
LCM(854,659) = 562786
