Lets's calculate LCM of 538,487
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 262006
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/262006
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 614/538,968/487 is 2/262006
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 538,487 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(538,487) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(538,487) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(538,487) = ( 538 × 487 ) / 1
LCM(538,487) = 262006 / 1
LCM(538,487) = 262006
