Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 738/493,4874/663 is 2/19227
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 493,663 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(493,663) = 17
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(493,663) x common factors =17 x 1 = 17
LCM(493,663) = ( 493 × 663 ) / 17
LCM(493,663) = 326859 / 17
LCM(493,663) = 19227
