So the greatest common factor 487,938 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 221,537
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 118677
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/118677
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 487/221,938/537 is 1/118677
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 221,537 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(221,537) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(221,537) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(221,537) = ( 221 × 537 ) / 1
LCM(221,537) = 118677 / 1
LCM(221,537) = 118677
