Lets's calculate LCM of 299,921
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 275379
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 6/275379
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 4686/299,4872/921 is 6/275379
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 299,921 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(299,921) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(299,921) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(299,921) = ( 299 × 921 ) / 1
LCM(299,921) = 275379 / 1
LCM(299,921) = 275379
