So the greatest common factor 5891,5480 is 137.
Lets's calculate LCM of 647,2156
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 1394932
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 137/1394932
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5891/647,5480/2156 is 137/1394932
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 647,2156 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(647,2156) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(647,2156) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(647,2156) = ( 647 × 2156 ) / 1
LCM(647,2156) = 1394932 / 1
LCM(647,2156) = 1394932
