Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 794,1939 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 794,1939 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 491,493
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 242063
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/242063
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 794/491,1939/493 is 1/242063
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 491,493 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(491,493) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(491,493) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(491,493) = ( 491 × 493 ) / 1
LCM(491,493) = 242063 / 1
LCM(491,493) = 242063
