Lets's calculate LCM of 496,319
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 158224
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/158224
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2127/496,6858/319 is 3/158224
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 496,319 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(496,319) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(496,319) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(496,319) = ( 496 × 319 ) / 1
LCM(496,319) = 158224 / 1
LCM(496,319) = 158224
