So the greatest common factor 554,938 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 421,727
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 306067
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/306067
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 554/421,938/727 is 2/306067
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 421,727 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(421,727) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(421,727) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(421,727) = ( 421 × 727 ) / 1
LCM(421,727) = 306067 / 1
LCM(421,727) = 306067
