Lets's calculate LCM of 970,149
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 144530
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/144530
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 488/970,494/149 is 2/144530
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 970,149 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(970,149) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(970,149) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(970,149) = ( 970 × 149 ) / 1
LCM(970,149) = 144530 / 1
LCM(970,149) = 144530
