Lets's calculate LCM of 552,701
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 386952
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/386952
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 957/552,8623/701 is 1/386952
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 552,701 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(552,701) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(552,701) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(552,701) = ( 552 × 701 ) / 1
LCM(552,701) = 386952 / 1
LCM(552,701) = 386952
