So the greatest common factor 558,470 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 253,626
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 158378
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/158378
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 558/253,470/626 is 2/158378
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 253,626 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(253,626) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(253,626) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(253,626) = ( 253 × 626 ) / 1
LCM(253,626) = 158378 / 1
LCM(253,626) = 158378
