Lets's calculate LCM of 867,659
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 571353
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/571353
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 494/867,938/659 is 2/571353
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 867,659 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(867,659) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(867,659) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(867,659) = ( 867 × 659 ) / 1
LCM(867,659) = 571353 / 1
LCM(867,659) = 571353
