We found the factors 99,2562 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 99,2562 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 846,2497
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 2112462
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/2112462
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 99/846,2562/2497 is 3/2112462
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 846,2497 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(846,2497) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(846,2497) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(846,2497) = ( 846 × 2497 ) / 1
LCM(846,2497) = 2112462 / 1
LCM(846,2497) = 2112462
