Lets's calculate LCM of 556,889
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 494284
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/494284
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5122/556,9546/889 is 2/494284
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 556,889 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(556,889) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(556,889) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(556,889) = ( 556 × 889 ) / 1
LCM(556,889) = 494284 / 1
LCM(556,889) = 494284
