Lets's calculate LCM of 997,489
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 487533
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/487533
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2537/997,5140/489 is 1/487533
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 997,489 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(997,489) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(997,489) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(997,489) = ( 997 × 489 ) / 1
LCM(997,489) = 487533 / 1
LCM(997,489) = 487533
