Lets's calculate LCM of 976,8506
2 | 976, 8506 |
488, 4253 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 488 x 4253 = 4150928
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/4150928
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3171/976,7208/8506 is 1/4150928
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 976,8506 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(976,8506) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(976,8506) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(976,8506) = ( 976 × 8506 ) / 2
LCM(976,8506) = 8301856 / 2
LCM(976,8506) = 4150928
