So the greatest common factor 499,946 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 89,538
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 47882
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/47882
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 499/89,946/538 is 1/47882
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 89,538 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(89,538) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(89,538) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(89,538) = ( 89 × 538 ) / 1
LCM(89,538) = 47882 / 1
LCM(89,538) = 47882
