Lets's calculate LCM of 979,753
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 737187
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 118/737187
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2950/979,6726/753 is 118/737187
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 979,753 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(979,753) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(979,753) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(979,753) = ( 979 × 753 ) / 1
LCM(979,753) = 737187 / 1
LCM(979,753) = 737187
