Lets's calculate LCM of 973,1685
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 1639505
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/1639505
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3160/973,3963/1685 is 1/1639505
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 973,1685 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(973,1685) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(973,1685) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(973,1685) = ( 973 × 1685 ) / 1
LCM(973,1685) = 1639505 / 1
LCM(973,1685) = 1639505
