Lets's calculate LCM of 450,7231
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 3253950
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 19/3253950
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3971/450,8797/7231 is 19/3253950
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 450,7231 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(450,7231) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(450,7231) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(450,7231) = ( 450 × 7231 ) / 1
LCM(450,7231) = 3253950 / 1
LCM(450,7231) = 3253950
