So the greatest common factor 474,297 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 621,499
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 309879
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/309879
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 474/621,297/499 is 3/309879
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 621,499 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(621,499) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(621,499) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(621,499) = ( 621 × 499 ) / 1
LCM(621,499) = 309879 / 1
LCM(621,499) = 309879
