So the greatest common factor 7204,3692 is 4.
Lets's calculate LCM of 557,6980
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 3887860
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/3887860
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 7204/557,3692/6980 is 4/3887860
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 557,6980 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(557,6980) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(557,6980) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(557,6980) = ( 557 × 6980 ) / 1
LCM(557,6980) = 3887860 / 1
LCM(557,6980) = 3887860
