So the greatest common factor 2950,3768 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 297,9778
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 2904066
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/2904066
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2950/297,3768/9778 is 2/2904066
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 297,9778 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(297,9778) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(297,9778) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(297,9778) = ( 297 × 9778 ) / 1
LCM(297,9778) = 2904066 / 1
LCM(297,9778) = 2904066
