So the greatest common factor 304,444 is 4.
Lets's calculate LCM of 497,526
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 261422
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/261422
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 304/497,444/526 is 4/261422
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 497,526 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(497,526) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(497,526) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(497,526) = ( 497 × 526 ) / 1
LCM(497,526) = 261422 / 1
LCM(497,526) = 261422
