Lets's calculate LCM of 537,556
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 298572
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/298572
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 923/537,840/556 is 1/298572
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 537,556 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(537,556) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(537,556) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(537,556) = ( 537 × 556 ) / 1
LCM(537,556) = 298572 / 1
LCM(537,556) = 298572
