Lets's calculate LCM of 889,2223
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 1976247
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 23/1976247
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5497/889,4393/2223 is 23/1976247
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 889,2223 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(889,2223) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(889,2223) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(889,2223) = ( 889 × 2223 ) / 1
LCM(889,2223) = 1976247 / 1
LCM(889,2223) = 1976247
