So the greatest common factor 480,496 is 16.
Lets's calculate LCM of 8179,6421
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 52517359
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 16/52517359
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 480/8179,496/6421 is 16/52517359
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 8179,6421 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(8179,6421) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(8179,6421) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(8179,6421) = ( 8179 × 6421 ) / 1
LCM(8179,6421) = 52517359 / 1
LCM(8179,6421) = 52517359
