Lets's calculate LCM of 491,6394
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 3139454
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/3139454
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3679/491,8538/6394 is 1/3139454
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 491,6394 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(491,6394) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(491,6394) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(491,6394) = ( 491 × 6394 ) / 1
LCM(491,6394) = 3139454 / 1
LCM(491,6394) = 3139454
