Lets's calculate LCM of 308,5557
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 1711556
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 63/1711556
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 7182/308,4221/5557 is 63/1711556
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 308,5557 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(308,5557) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(308,5557) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(308,5557) = ( 308 × 5557 ) / 1
LCM(308,5557) = 1711556 / 1
LCM(308,5557) = 1711556
