Lets's calculate LCM of 493,488
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 240584
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/240584
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 8692/493,9204/488 is 4/240584
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 493,488 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(493,488) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(493,488) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(493,488) = ( 493 × 488 ) / 1
LCM(493,488) = 240584 / 1
LCM(493,488) = 240584
