We found the factors 1946,5754 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 1946,5754 is 14.
Lets's calculate LCM of 309,869
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 268521
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 14/268521
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1946/309,5754/869 is 14/268521
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 309,869 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(309,869) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(309,869) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(309,869) = ( 309 × 869 ) / 1
LCM(309,869) = 268521 / 1
LCM(309,869) = 268521
