Lets's calculate LCM of 491,962
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 472342
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/472342
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 8351/491,6896/962 is 1/472342
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 491,962 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(491,962) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(491,962) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(491,962) = ( 491 × 962 ) / 1
LCM(491,962) = 472342 / 1
LCM(491,962) = 472342
