So the greatest common factor 5502,8564 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 782,497
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 388654
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/388654
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5502/782,8564/497 is 2/388654
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 782,497 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(782,497) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(782,497) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(782,497) = ( 782 × 497 ) / 1
LCM(782,497) = 388654 / 1
LCM(782,497) = 388654
