Lets's calculate LCM of 49,359
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 17591
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 13/17591
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2873/49,4446/359 is 13/17591
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 49,359 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(49,359) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(49,359) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(49,359) = ( 49 × 359 ) / 1
LCM(49,359) = 17591 / 1
LCM(49,359) = 17591
