Lets's calculate LCM of 557,401
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 223357
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/223357
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 794/557,5412/401 is 2/223357
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 557,401 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(557,401) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(557,401) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(557,401) = ( 557 × 401 ) / 1
LCM(557,401) = 223357 / 1
LCM(557,401) = 223357
