So the greatest common factor 856,6715 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 659,4942
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 3256778
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/3256778
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 856/659,6715/4942 is 1/3256778
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 659,4942 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(659,4942) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(659,4942) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(659,4942) = ( 659 × 4942 ) / 1
LCM(659,4942) = 3256778 / 1
LCM(659,4942) = 3256778
