Lets's calculate LCM of 486,277
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 134622
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/134622
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1257/486,5516/277 is 1/134622
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 486,277 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(486,277) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(486,277) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(486,277) = ( 486 × 277 ) / 1
LCM(486,277) = 134622 / 1
LCM(486,277) = 134622
