Lets's calculate LCM of 949,171
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 162279
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/162279
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 6869/949,6838/171 is 1/162279
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 949,171 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(949,171) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(949,171) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(949,171) = ( 949 × 171 ) / 1
LCM(949,171) = 162279 / 1
LCM(949,171) = 162279
