Lets's calculate LCM of 491,380
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 186580
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/186580
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 248/491,735/380 is 1/186580
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 491,380 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(491,380) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(491,380) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(491,380) = ( 491 × 380 ) / 1
LCM(491,380) = 186580 / 1
LCM(491,380) = 186580
