Lets's calculate LCM of 8557,9617
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 82292669
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/82292669
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 668/8557,738/9617 is 2/82292669
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 8557,9617 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(8557,9617) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(8557,9617) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(8557,9617) = ( 8557 × 9617 ) / 1
LCM(8557,9617) = 82292669 / 1
LCM(8557,9617) = 82292669
