So the greatest common factor 969,540 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 49,1556
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 76244
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/76244
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 969/49,540/1556 is 3/76244
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 49,1556 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(49,1556) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(49,1556) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(49,1556) = ( 49 × 1556 ) / 1
LCM(49,1556) = 76244 / 1
LCM(49,1556) = 76244
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
