Lets's calculate LCM of 868,8979
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 7793772
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/7793772
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3960/868,6484/8979 is 4/7793772
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 868,8979 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(868,8979) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(868,8979) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(868,8979) = ( 868 × 8979 ) / 1
LCM(868,8979) = 7793772 / 1
LCM(868,8979) = 7793772
