Lets's calculate LCM of 969,280
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 271320
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 7/271320
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3227/969,4179/280 is 7/271320
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 969,280 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(969,280) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(969,280) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(969,280) = ( 969 × 280 ) / 1
LCM(969,280) = 271320 / 1
LCM(969,280) = 271320
