Lets's calculate LCM of 497,7303
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 3629591
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/3629591
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1488/497,8518/7303 is 2/3629591
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 497,7303 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(497,7303) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(497,7303) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(497,7303) = ( 497 × 7303 ) / 1
LCM(497,7303) = 3629591 / 1
LCM(497,7303) = 3629591
