Lets's calculate LCM of 847,7961
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 6742967
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/6742967
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1738/847,1982/7961 is 2/6742967
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 847,7961 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(847,7961) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(847,7961) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(847,7961) = ( 847 × 7961 ) / 1
LCM(847,7961) = 6742967 / 1
LCM(847,7961) = 6742967
