Lets's calculate LCM of 595,149
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 88655
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 6/88655
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3426/595,2958/149 is 6/88655
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 595,149 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(595,149) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(595,149) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(595,149) = ( 595 × 149 ) / 1
LCM(595,149) = 88655 / 1
LCM(595,149) = 88655
