We found the factors 6101,4742 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 6101,4742 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 597,9737
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 5812989
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/5812989
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 6101/597,4742/9737 is 1/5812989
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 597,9737 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(597,9737) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(597,9737) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(597,9737) = ( 597 × 9737 ) / 1
LCM(597,9737) = 5812989 / 1
LCM(597,9737) = 5812989
