Lets's calculate LCM of 979,111
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 108669
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/108669
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2966/979,3442/111 is 2/108669
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 979,111 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(979,111) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(979,111) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(979,111) = ( 979 × 111 ) / 1
LCM(979,111) = 108669 / 1
LCM(979,111) = 108669
