So the greatest common factor 499,246 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 537,691
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 371067
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/371067
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 499/537,246/691 is 1/371067
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 537,691 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(537,691) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(537,691) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(537,691) = ( 537 × 691 ) / 1
LCM(537,691) = 371067 / 1
LCM(537,691) = 371067
