So the greatest common factor 933,486 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 500,531
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 265500
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/265500
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 933/500,486/531 is 3/265500
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 500,531 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(500,531) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(500,531) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(500,531) = ( 500 × 531 ) / 1
LCM(500,531) = 265500 / 1
LCM(500,531) = 265500
