Lets's calculate LCM of 984,7881
3 | 984, 7881 |
328, 2627 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 328 x 2627 = 2584968
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/2584968
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3959/984,2965/7881 is 1/2584968
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 984,7881 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(984,7881) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(984,7881) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(984,7881) = ( 984 × 7881 ) / 3
LCM(984,7881) = 7754904 / 3
LCM(984,7881) = 2584968
