So the greatest common factor 492,260 is 4.
Lets's calculate LCM of 107,960
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 102720
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/102720
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 492/107,260/960 is 4/102720
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 107,960 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(107,960) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(107,960) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(107,960) = ( 107 × 960 ) / 1
LCM(107,960) = 102720 / 1
LCM(107,960) = 102720
