So the greatest common factor 5883,1113 is 159.
Lets's calculate LCM of 889,3359
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 2986151
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 159/2986151
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5883/889,1113/3359 is 159/2986151
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 889,3359 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(889,3359) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(889,3359) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(889,3359) = ( 889 × 3359 ) / 1
LCM(889,3359) = 2986151 / 1
LCM(889,3359) = 2986151
