We found the factors 3727,2976 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 3727,2976 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 171,9968
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 1704528
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/1704528
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3727/171,2976/9968 is 1/1704528
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 171,9968 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(171,9968) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(171,9968) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(171,9968) = ( 171 × 9968 ) / 1
LCM(171,9968) = 1704528 / 1
LCM(171,9968) = 1704528
