Lets's calculate LCM of 278,4531
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 1259618
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/1259618
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5293/278,3271/4531 is 1/1259618
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 278,4531 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(278,4531) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(278,4531) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(278,4531) = ( 278 × 4531 ) / 1
LCM(278,4531) = 1259618 / 1
LCM(278,4531) = 1259618
