So the greatest common factor 42,134,464 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 492,481,277
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 65552604
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/65552604
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 42/492,134/481,464/277 is 2/65552604
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 492,481,277 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(492,481,277) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(492,481,277) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(492,481,277) = ( 492 × 481 × 277 ) / 1
LCM(492,481,277) = 65552604 / 1
LCM(492,481,277) = 65552604
