So the greatest common factor 1059,8766 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 259,6100
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 1579900
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/1579900
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1059/259,8766/6100 is 3/1579900
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 259,6100 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(259,6100) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(259,6100) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(259,6100) = ( 259 × 6100 ) / 1
LCM(259,6100) = 1579900 / 1
LCM(259,6100) = 1579900
