Lets's calculate LCM of 327,488
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 159576
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/159576
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 406/327,7281/488 is 1/159576
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 327,488 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(327,488) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(327,488) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(327,488) = ( 327 × 488 ) / 1
LCM(327,488) = 159576 / 1
LCM(327,488) = 159576
