So the greatest common factor 5846,3084 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 989,1779
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 1759431
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/1759431
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5846/989,3084/1779 is 2/1759431
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 989,1779 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(989,1779) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(989,1779) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(989,1779) = ( 989 × 1779 ) / 1
LCM(989,1779) = 1759431 / 1
LCM(989,1779) = 1759431
