So the greatest common factor 582,158 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 556,197
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 109532
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/109532
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 582/556,158/197 is 2/109532
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 556,197 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(556,197) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(556,197) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(556,197) = ( 556 × 197 ) / 1
LCM(556,197) = 109532 / 1
LCM(556,197) = 109532
