So the greatest common factor 1249,4691 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 449,978
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 439122
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/439122
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1249/449,4691/978 is 1/439122
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 449,978 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(449,978) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(449,978) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(449,978) = ( 449 × 978 ) / 1
LCM(449,978) = 439122 / 1
LCM(449,978) = 439122
