We found the factors 5601,8849 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 5601,8849 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 493,351
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 173043
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/173043
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5601/493,8849/351 is 1/173043
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 493,351 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(493,351) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(493,351) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(493,351) = ( 493 × 351 ) / 1
LCM(493,351) = 173043 / 1
LCM(493,351) = 173043
