So the greatest common factor 5930,9876 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 141,3482
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 490962
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/490962
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5930/141,9876/3482 is 2/490962
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 141,3482 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(141,3482) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(141,3482) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(141,3482) = ( 141 × 3482 ) / 1
LCM(141,3482) = 490962 / 1
LCM(141,3482) = 490962
