Lets's calculate LCM of 842,5923
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 4987166
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 49/4987166
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 98/842,4949/5923 is 49/4987166
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 842,5923 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(842,5923) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(842,5923) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(842,5923) = ( 842 × 5923 ) / 1
LCM(842,5923) = 4987166 / 1
LCM(842,5923) = 4987166
