So the greatest common factor 7539,5159 is 7.
Lets's calculate LCM of 221,350
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 77350
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 7/77350
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 7539/221,5159/350 is 7/77350
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 221,350 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(221,350) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(221,350) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(221,350) = ( 221 × 350 ) / 1
LCM(221,350) = 77350 / 1
LCM(221,350) = 77350
