Lets's calculate LCM of 571,1556
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 888476
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/888476
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3990/571,5254/1556 is 2/888476
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 571,1556 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(571,1556) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(571,1556) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(571,1556) = ( 571 × 1556 ) / 1
LCM(571,1556) = 888476 / 1
LCM(571,1556) = 888476
