Lets's calculate LCM of 429,4698
3 | 429, 4698 |
143, 1566 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 143 x 1566 = 671814
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 6/671814
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1962/429,6486/4698 is 6/671814
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 429,4698 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(429,4698) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(429,4698) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(429,4698) = ( 429 × 4698 ) / 3
LCM(429,4698) = 2015442 / 3
LCM(429,4698) = 671814
