So the greatest common factor 492,486 is 6.
Lets's calculate LCM of 206,371
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 76426
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 6/76426
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 492/206,486/371 is 6/76426
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 206,371 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(206,371) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(206,371) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(206,371) = ( 206 × 371 ) / 1
LCM(206,371) = 76426 / 1
LCM(206,371) = 76426
