So the greatest common factor 554,916 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 389,942
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 366438
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/366438
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 554/389,916/942 is 2/366438
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 389,942 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(389,942) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(389,942) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(389,942) = ( 389 × 942 ) / 1
LCM(389,942) = 366438 / 1
LCM(389,942) = 366438
