So the greatest common factor 2964,8838 is 6.
Lets's calculate LCM of 397,100
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 39700
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 6/39700
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2964/397,8838/100 is 6/39700
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 397,100 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(397,100) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(397,100) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(397,100) = ( 397 × 100 ) / 1
LCM(397,100) = 39700 / 1
LCM(397,100) = 39700
