Lets's calculate LCM of 492,7097
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 3491724
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/3491724
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1017/492,3542/7097 is 1/3491724
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 492,7097 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(492,7097) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(492,7097) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(492,7097) = ( 492 × 7097 ) / 1
LCM(492,7097) = 3491724 / 1
LCM(492,7097) = 3491724
