Lets's calculate LCM of 566,493
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 279038
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/279038
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 247/566,168/493 is 1/279038
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 566,493 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(566,493) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(566,493) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(566,493) = ( 566 × 493 ) / 1
LCM(566,493) = 279038 / 1
LCM(566,493) = 279038
