So the greatest common factor 497,728 is 7.
Lets's calculate LCM of 601,249
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 149649
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 7/149649
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 497/601,728/249 is 7/149649
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 601,249 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(601,249) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(601,249) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(601,249) = ( 601 × 249 ) / 1
LCM(601,249) = 149649 / 1
LCM(601,249) = 149649
