Lets's calculate LCM of 869,6198
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 5386062
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 19/5386062
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 6042/869,1957/6198 is 19/5386062
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 869,6198 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(869,6198) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(869,6198) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(869,6198) = ( 869 × 6198 ) / 1
LCM(869,6198) = 5386062 / 1
LCM(869,6198) = 5386062
