Lets's calculate LCM of 491,4293
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 2107863
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 5/2107863
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 525/491,4120/4293 is 5/2107863
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 491,4293 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(491,4293) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(491,4293) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(491,4293) = ( 491 × 4293 ) / 1
LCM(491,4293) = 2107863 / 1
LCM(491,4293) = 2107863
