Lets's calculate LCM of 521,5532
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 2882172
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/2882172
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5802/521,5530/5532 is 2/2882172
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 521,5532 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(521,5532) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(521,5532) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(521,5532) = ( 521 × 5532 ) / 1
LCM(521,5532) = 2882172 / 1
LCM(521,5532) = 2882172
