Lets's calculate LCM of 489,245
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 119805
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/119805
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3114/489,8492/245 is 2/119805
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 489,245 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(489,245) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(489,245) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(489,245) = ( 489 × 245 ) / 1
LCM(489,245) = 119805 / 1
LCM(489,245) = 119805
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
