Lets's calculate LCM of 496,517,291
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 74621712
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/74621712
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 46/496,688/517,548/291 is 2/74621712
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 496,517,291 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(496,517,291) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(496,517,291) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(496,517,291) = ( 496 × 517 × 291 ) / 1
LCM(496,517,291) = 74621712 / 1
LCM(496,517,291) = 74621712
