Lets's calculate LCM of 401,5377
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 2156177
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/2156177
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1898/401,5172/5377 is 2/2156177
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 401,5377 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(401,5377) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(401,5377) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(401,5377) = ( 401 × 5377 ) / 1
LCM(401,5377) = 2156177 / 1
LCM(401,5377) = 2156177
