We found the factors 841,3402 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 841,3402 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 493,268
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 132124
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/132124
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 841/493,3402/268 is 1/132124
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 493,268 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(493,268) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(493,268) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(493,268) = ( 493 × 268 ) / 1
LCM(493,268) = 132124 / 1
LCM(493,268) = 132124
