So the greatest common factor 847,1242 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 457,5849
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 2672993
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/2672993
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 847/457,1242/5849 is 1/2672993
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 457,5849 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(457,5849) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(457,5849) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(457,5849) = ( 457 × 5849 ) / 1
LCM(457,5849) = 2672993 / 1
LCM(457,5849) = 2672993
