Lets's calculate LCM of 699,4859
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 3396441
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/3396441
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1994/699,2040/4859 is 2/3396441
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 699,4859 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(699,4859) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(699,4859) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(699,4859) = ( 699 × 4859 ) / 1
LCM(699,4859) = 3396441 / 1
LCM(699,4859) = 3396441
