So the greatest common factor 549,462 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 550,163
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 89650
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/89650
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 549/550,462/163 is 3/89650
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 550,163 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(550,163) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(550,163) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(550,163) = ( 550 × 163 ) / 1
LCM(550,163) = 89650 / 1
LCM(550,163) = 89650
