Lets's calculate LCM of 235,4991
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 1172885
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/1172885
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1857/235,8234/4991 is 1/1172885
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 235,4991 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(235,4991) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(235,4991) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(235,4991) = ( 235 × 4991 ) / 1
LCM(235,4991) = 1172885 / 1
LCM(235,4991) = 1172885
