Lets's calculate LCM of 467,254
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 118618
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/118618
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 997/467,558/254 is 1/118618
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 467,254 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(467,254) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(467,254) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(467,254) = ( 467 × 254 ) / 1
LCM(467,254) = 118618 / 1
LCM(467,254) = 118618
