Lets's calculate LCM of 542,4741
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 2569622
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/2569622
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5591/542,7518/4741 is 1/2569622
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 542,4741 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(542,4741) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(542,4741) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(542,4741) = ( 542 × 4741 ) / 1
LCM(542,4741) = 2569622 / 1
LCM(542,4741) = 2569622
