So the greatest common factor 5553,2890 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 279,2897
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 808263
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/808263
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5553/279,2890/2897 is 1/808263
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 279,2897 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(279,2897) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(279,2897) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(279,2897) = ( 279 × 2897 ) / 1
LCM(279,2897) = 808263 / 1
LCM(279,2897) = 808263
