So the greatest common factor 492,663 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 745,691
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 514795
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/514795
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 492/745,663/691 is 3/514795
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 745,691 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(745,691) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(745,691) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(745,691) = ( 745 × 691 ) / 1
LCM(745,691) = 514795 / 1
LCM(745,691) = 514795
