Lets's calculate LCM of 437,583
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 254771
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 5/254771
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 490/437,6855/583 is 5/254771
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 437,583 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(437,583) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(437,583) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(437,583) = ( 437 × 583 ) / 1
LCM(437,583) = 254771 / 1
LCM(437,583) = 254771
