Lets's calculate LCM of 4711,5699
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 26847989
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/26847989
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 538/4711,336/5699 is 2/26847989
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 4711,5699 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(4711,5699) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(4711,5699) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(4711,5699) = ( 4711 × 5699 ) / 1
LCM(4711,5699) = 26847989 / 1
LCM(4711,5699) = 26847989
