So the greatest common factor 685,859 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 496,859
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 426064
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/426064
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 685/496,859/859 is 1/426064
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 496,859 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(496,859) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(496,859) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(496,859) = ( 496 × 859 ) / 1
LCM(496,859) = 426064 / 1
LCM(496,859) = 426064
