Lets's calculate LCM of 67,491
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 32897
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/32897
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 496/67,377/491 is 1/32897
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 67,491 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(67,491) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(67,491) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(67,491) = ( 67 × 491 ) / 1
LCM(67,491) = 32897 / 1
LCM(67,491) = 32897
