Lets's calculate LCM of 239,4786
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 1143854
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/1143854
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 4146/239,2451/4786 is 3/1143854
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 239,4786 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(239,4786) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(239,4786) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(239,4786) = ( 239 × 4786 ) / 1
LCM(239,4786) = 1143854 / 1
LCM(239,4786) = 1143854
