So the greatest common factor 5522,8976 is 22.
Lets's calculate LCM of 153,149
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 22797
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 22/22797
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5522/153,8976/149 is 22/22797
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 153,149 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(153,149) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(153,149) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(153,149) = ( 153 × 149 ) / 1
LCM(153,149) = 22797 / 1
LCM(153,149) = 22797
