Lets's calculate LCM of 387,7816
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 3024792
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/3024792
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3968/387,9731/7816 is 1/3024792
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 387,7816 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(387,7816) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(387,7816) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(387,7816) = ( 387 × 7816 ) / 1
LCM(387,7816) = 3024792 / 1
LCM(387,7816) = 3024792
