So the greatest common factor 1997,1199 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 970,9258
2 | 970, 9258 |
485, 4629 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 485 x 4629 = 4490130
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/4490130
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1997/970,1199/9258 is 1/4490130
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 970,9258 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(970,9258) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(970,9258) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(970,9258) = ( 970 × 9258 ) / 2
LCM(970,9258) = 8980260 / 2
LCM(970,9258) = 4490130
