Lets's calculate LCM of 859,359
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 308381
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/308381
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 494/859,194/359 is 2/308381
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 859,359 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(859,359) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(859,359) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(859,359) = ( 859 × 359 ) / 1
LCM(859,359) = 308381 / 1
LCM(859,359) = 308381
