Lets's calculate LCM of 5499,2899
13 | 5499, 2899 |
423, 223 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 13 x 423 x 223 = 1226277
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 28/1226277
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 280/5499,308/2899 is 28/1226277
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 5499,2899 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(5499,2899) = 13
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(5499,2899) x common factors =13 x 1 = 13
LCM(5499,2899) = ( 5499 × 2899 ) / 13
LCM(5499,2899) = 15941601 / 13
LCM(5499,2899) = 1226277
