Lets's calculate LCM of 641,492
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 315372
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/315372
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 204/641,973/492 is 1/315372
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 641,492 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(641,492) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(641,492) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(641,492) = ( 641 × 492 ) / 1
LCM(641,492) = 315372 / 1
LCM(641,492) = 315372
