Lets's calculate LCM of 493,926
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 456518
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/456518
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 834/493,668/926 is 2/456518
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 493,926 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(493,926) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(493,926) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(493,926) = ( 493 × 926 ) / 1
LCM(493,926) = 456518 / 1
LCM(493,926) = 456518
