Lets's calculate LCM of 803,955
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 766865
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/766865
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2958/803,3945/955 is 3/766865
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 803,955 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(803,955) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(803,955) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(803,955) = ( 803 × 955 ) / 1
LCM(803,955) = 766865 / 1
LCM(803,955) = 766865
