Lets's calculate LCM of 501,5558
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 2784558
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 16/2784558
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 880/501,1744/5558 is 16/2784558
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 501,5558 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(501,5558) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(501,5558) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(501,5558) = ( 501 × 5558 ) / 1
LCM(501,5558) = 2784558 / 1
LCM(501,5558) = 2784558
