Lets's calculate LCM of 499,180
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 89820
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/89820
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 492/499,4406/180 is 2/89820
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 499,180 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(499,180) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(499,180) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(499,180) = ( 499 × 180 ) / 1
LCM(499,180) = 89820 / 1
LCM(499,180) = 89820
