Lets's calculate LCM of 869,6149
11 | 869, 6149 |
79, 559 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 11 x 79 x 559 = 485771
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 6/485771
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 4998/869,2946/6149 is 6/485771
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 869,6149 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(869,6149) = 11
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(869,6149) x common factors =11 x 1 = 11
LCM(869,6149) = ( 869 × 6149 ) / 11
LCM(869,6149) = 5343481 / 11
LCM(869,6149) = 485771
