So the greatest common factor 4942,7052 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 556,3773
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 2097788
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/2097788
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 4942/556,7052/3773 is 2/2097788
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 556,3773 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(556,3773) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(556,3773) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(556,3773) = ( 556 × 3773 ) / 1
LCM(556,3773) = 2097788 / 1
LCM(556,3773) = 2097788
