We found the factors 654,1968 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 654,1968 is 6.
Lets's calculate LCM of 557,887
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 494059
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 6/494059
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 654/557,1968/887 is 6/494059
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 557,887 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(557,887) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(557,887) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(557,887) = ( 557 × 887 ) / 1
LCM(557,887) = 494059 / 1
LCM(557,887) = 494059
