Lets's calculate LCM of 945,9502
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 8979390
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 37/8979390
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2997/945,9620/9502 is 37/8979390
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 945,9502 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(945,9502) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(945,9502) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(945,9502) = ( 945 × 9502 ) / 1
LCM(945,9502) = 8979390 / 1
LCM(945,9502) = 8979390
