So the greatest common factor 861,320 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 493,589
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 290377
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/290377
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 861/493,320/589 is 1/290377
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 493,589 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(493,589) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(493,589) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(493,589) = ( 493 × 589 ) / 1
LCM(493,589) = 290377 / 1
LCM(493,589) = 290377
