Lets's calculate LCM of 829,2946
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 2442234
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 17/2442234
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2431/829,6511/2946 is 17/2442234
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 829,2946 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(829,2946) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(829,2946) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(829,2946) = ( 829 × 2946 ) / 1
LCM(829,2946) = 2442234 / 1
LCM(829,2946) = 2442234
