Lets's calculate LCM of 316,851
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 268916
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/268916
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 496/316,337/851 is 1/268916
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 316,851 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(316,851) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(316,851) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(316,851) = ( 316 × 851 ) / 1
LCM(316,851) = 268916 / 1
LCM(316,851) = 268916
