Lets's calculate LCM of 279,5842
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 1629918
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/1629918
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 6012/279,2699/5842 is 1/1629918
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 279,5842 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(279,5842) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(279,5842) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(279,5842) = ( 279 × 5842 ) / 1
LCM(279,5842) = 1629918 / 1
LCM(279,5842) = 1629918
