So the greatest common factor 494,795 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 59,531
59 | 59, 531 |
1, 9 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 59 x 1 x 9 = 531
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/531
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 494/59,795/531 is 1/531
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 59,531 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(59,531) = 59
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(59,531) x common factors =59 x 1 = 59
LCM(59,531) = ( 59 × 531 ) / 59
LCM(59,531) = 31329 / 59
LCM(59,531) = 531
