So the greatest common factor 4944,9876 is 12.
Lets's calculate LCM of 259,4250
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 1100750
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 12/1100750
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 4944/259,9876/4250 is 12/1100750
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 259,4250 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(259,4250) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(259,4250) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(259,4250) = ( 259 × 4250 ) / 1
LCM(259,4250) = 1100750 / 1
LCM(259,4250) = 1100750
