So the greatest common factor 6041,3976 is 7.
Lets's calculate LCM of 179,8919
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 1596501
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 7/1596501
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 6041/179,3976/8919 is 7/1596501
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 179,8919 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(179,8919) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(179,8919) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(179,8919) = ( 179 × 8919 ) / 1
LCM(179,8919) = 1596501 / 1
LCM(179,8919) = 1596501
