Lets's calculate LCM of 757,491
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 371687
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 7/371687
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 938/757,539/491 is 7/371687
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 757,491 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(757,491) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(757,491) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(757,491) = ( 757 × 491 ) / 1
LCM(757,491) = 371687 / 1
LCM(757,491) = 371687
