Lets's calculate LCM of 557,449
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 250093
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/250093
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 184/557,486/449 is 2/250093
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 557,449 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(557,449) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(557,449) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(557,449) = ( 557 × 449 ) / 1
LCM(557,449) = 250093 / 1
LCM(557,449) = 250093
