So the greatest common factor 557,432 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 844,241
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 203404
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/203404
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 557/844,432/241 is 1/203404
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 844,241 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(844,241) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(844,241) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(844,241) = ( 844 × 241 ) / 1
LCM(844,241) = 203404 / 1
LCM(844,241) = 203404
