So the greatest common factor 5859,7341 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 553,5403
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 2987859
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/2987859
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5859/553,7341/5403 is 3/2987859
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 553,5403 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(553,5403) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(553,5403) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(553,5403) = ( 553 × 5403 ) / 1
LCM(553,5403) = 2987859 / 1
LCM(553,5403) = 2987859
