Lets's calculate LCM of 5542,5031
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 27881802
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 13/27881802
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 949/5542,728/5031 is 13/27881802
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 5542,5031 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(5542,5031) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(5542,5031) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(5542,5031) = ( 5542 × 5031 ) / 1
LCM(5542,5031) = 27881802 / 1
LCM(5542,5031) = 27881802
