Lets's calculate LCM of 491,963
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 472833
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/472833
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 539/491,1436/963 is 1/472833
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 491,963 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(491,963) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(491,963) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(491,963) = ( 491 × 963 ) / 1
LCM(491,963) = 472833 / 1
LCM(491,963) = 472833
