So the greatest common factor 3874,9772 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 976,733
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 715408
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/715408
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3874/976,9772/733 is 2/715408
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 976,733 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(976,733) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(976,733) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(976,733) = ( 976 × 733 ) / 1
LCM(976,733) = 715408 / 1
LCM(976,733) = 715408
