So the greatest common factor 3507,7011 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 491,7087
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 3479717
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/3479717
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3507/491,7011/7087 is 3/3479717
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 491,7087 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(491,7087) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(491,7087) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(491,7087) = ( 491 × 7087 ) / 1
LCM(491,7087) = 3479717 / 1
LCM(491,7087) = 3479717
