Lets's calculate LCM of 455,5559
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 2529345
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/2529345
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 6531/455,5298/5559 is 3/2529345
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 455,5559 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(455,5559) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(455,5559) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(455,5559) = ( 455 × 5559 ) / 1
LCM(455,5559) = 2529345 / 1
LCM(455,5559) = 2529345
