So the greatest common factor 3176,5481 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 498,149
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 74202
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/74202
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3176/498,5481/149 is 1/74202
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 498,149 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(498,149) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(498,149) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(498,149) = ( 498 × 149 ) / 1
LCM(498,149) = 74202 / 1
LCM(498,149) = 74202
