So the greatest common factor 948,798 is 6.
Lets's calculate LCM of 40,6091
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 243640
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 6/243640
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 948/40,798/6091 is 6/243640
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 40,6091 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(40,6091) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(40,6091) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(40,6091) = ( 40 × 6091 ) / 1
LCM(40,6091) = 243640 / 1
LCM(40,6091) = 243640
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
