Lets's calculate LCM of 295,557
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 164315
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/164315
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 7946/295,5102/557 is 2/164315
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 295,557 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(295,557) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(295,557) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(295,557) = ( 295 × 557 ) / 1
LCM(295,557) = 164315 / 1
LCM(295,557) = 164315
