So the greatest common factor 5922,3066 is 42.
Lets's calculate LCM of 749,961
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 719789
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 42/719789
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5922/749,3066/961 is 42/719789
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 749,961 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(749,961) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(749,961) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(749,961) = ( 749 × 961 ) / 1
LCM(749,961) = 719789 / 1
LCM(749,961) = 719789
