So the greatest common factor 487,286 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 792,157
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 124344
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/124344
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 487/792,286/157 is 1/124344
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 792,157 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(792,157) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(792,157) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(792,157) = ( 792 × 157 ) / 1
LCM(792,157) = 124344 / 1
LCM(792,157) = 124344
