So the greatest common factor 645,942 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 491,312
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 153192
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/153192
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 645/491,942/312 is 3/153192
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 491,312 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(491,312) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(491,312) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(491,312) = ( 491 × 312 ) / 1
LCM(491,312) = 153192 / 1
LCM(491,312) = 153192
