So the greatest common factor 4977,3474 is 9.
Lets's calculate LCM of 558,893
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 498294
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 9/498294
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 4977/558,3474/893 is 9/498294
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 558,893 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(558,893) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(558,893) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(558,893) = ( 558 × 893 ) / 1
LCM(558,893) = 498294 / 1
LCM(558,893) = 498294
