We found the factors 20,7170 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 20,7170 is 10.
Lets's calculate LCM of 397,9583
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 3804451
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 10/3804451
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 20/397,7170/9583 is 10/3804451
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 397,9583 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(397,9583) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(397,9583) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(397,9583) = ( 397 × 9583 ) / 1
LCM(397,9583) = 3804451 / 1
LCM(397,9583) = 3804451
