Lets's calculate LCM of 244,497
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 121268
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/121268
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2548/244,3306/497 is 2/121268
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 244,497 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(244,497) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(244,497) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(244,497) = ( 244 × 497 ) / 1
LCM(244,497) = 121268 / 1
LCM(244,497) = 121268
