So the greatest common factor 2889,4862 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 279,298
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 83142
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/83142
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2889/279,4862/298 is 1/83142
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 279,298 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(279,298) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(279,298) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(279,298) = ( 279 × 298 ) / 1
LCM(279,298) = 83142 / 1
LCM(279,298) = 83142
