Lets's calculate LCM of 542,505
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 273710
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/273710
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5496/542,1690/505 is 2/273710
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 542,505 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(542,505) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(542,505) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(542,505) = ( 542 × 505 ) / 1
LCM(542,505) = 273710 / 1
LCM(542,505) = 273710
