Lets's calculate LCM of 311,8969
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 2789359
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/2789359
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 4046/311,8604/8969 is 2/2789359
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 311,8969 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(311,8969) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(311,8969) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(311,8969) = ( 311 × 8969 ) / 1
LCM(311,8969) = 2789359 / 1
LCM(311,8969) = 2789359
