So the greatest common factor 2442,1998 is 222.
Lets's calculate LCM of 611,4657
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 2845427
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 222/2845427
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2442/611,1998/4657 is 222/2845427
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 611,4657 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(611,4657) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(611,4657) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(611,4657) = ( 611 × 4657 ) / 1
LCM(611,4657) = 2845427 / 1
LCM(611,4657) = 2845427
