Lets's calculate LCM of 845,6059
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 5119855
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 6/5119855
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2982/845,4434/6059 is 6/5119855
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 845,6059 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(845,6059) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(845,6059) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(845,6059) = ( 845 × 6059 ) / 1
LCM(845,6059) = 5119855 / 1
LCM(845,6059) = 5119855
