So the greatest common factor 2079,9981 is 9.
Lets's calculate LCM of 203,8601
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 1746003
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 9/1746003
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2079/203,9981/8601 is 9/1746003
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 203,8601 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(203,8601) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(203,8601) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(203,8601) = ( 203 × 8601 ) / 1
LCM(203,8601) = 1746003 / 1
LCM(203,8601) = 1746003
