Lets's calculate LCM of 494,107
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 52858
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 7/52858
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3374/494,1491/107 is 7/52858
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 494,107 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(494,107) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(494,107) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(494,107) = ( 494 × 107 ) / 1
LCM(494,107) = 52858 / 1
LCM(494,107) = 52858
