Lets's calculate LCM of 538,459
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 246942
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/246942
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 449/538,5724/459 is 1/246942
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 538,459 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(538,459) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(538,459) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(538,459) = ( 538 × 459 ) / 1
LCM(538,459) = 246942 / 1
LCM(538,459) = 246942
