Lets's calculate LCM of 557,4485
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 2498145
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 14/2498145
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 4942/557,1260/4485 is 14/2498145
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 557,4485 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(557,4485) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(557,4485) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(557,4485) = ( 557 × 4485 ) / 1
LCM(557,4485) = 2498145 / 1
LCM(557,4485) = 2498145
