So the greatest common factor 897,832 is 13.
Lets's calculate LCM of 49,2538
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 124362
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 13/124362
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 897/49,832/2538 is 13/124362
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 49,2538 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(49,2538) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(49,2538) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(49,2538) = ( 49 × 2538 ) / 1
LCM(49,2538) = 124362 / 1
LCM(49,2538) = 124362
