Lets's calculate LCM of 557,9977
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 5557189
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 15/5557189
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 4245/557,4500/9977 is 15/5557189
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 557,9977 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(557,9977) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(557,9977) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(557,9977) = ( 557 × 9977 ) / 1
LCM(557,9977) = 5557189 / 1
LCM(557,9977) = 5557189
