Lets's calculate LCM of 537,553
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 296961
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/296961
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5746/537,4398/553 is 2/296961
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 537,553 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(537,553) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(537,553) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(537,553) = ( 537 × 553 ) / 1
LCM(537,553) = 296961 / 1
LCM(537,553) = 296961
