Lets's calculate LCM of 491,891
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 437481
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/437481
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1279/491,5684/891 is 1/437481
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 491,891 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(491,891) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(491,891) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(491,891) = ( 491 × 891 ) / 1
LCM(491,891) = 437481 / 1
LCM(491,891) = 437481
