Lets's calculate LCM of 496,691
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 342736
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/342736
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 242/496,582/691 is 2/342736
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 496,691 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(496,691) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(496,691) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(496,691) = ( 496 × 691 ) / 1
LCM(496,691) = 342736 / 1
LCM(496,691) = 342736
