So the greatest common factor 969,144 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 23,4970
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 114310
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/114310
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 969/23,144/4970 is 3/114310
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 23,4970 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(23,4970) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(23,4970) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(23,4970) = ( 23 × 4970 ) / 1
LCM(23,4970) = 114310 / 1
LCM(23,4970) = 114310
