Lets's calculate LCM of 497,9284
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 4614148
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/4614148
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3578/497,1526/9284 is 2/4614148
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 497,9284 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(497,9284) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(497,9284) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(497,9284) = ( 497 × 9284 ) / 1
LCM(497,9284) = 4614148 / 1
LCM(497,9284) = 4614148
