Lets's calculate LCM of 539,491
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 264649
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/264649
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 849/539,135/491 is 3/264649
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 539,491 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(539,491) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(539,491) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(539,491) = ( 539 × 491 ) / 1
LCM(539,491) = 264649 / 1
LCM(539,491) = 264649
