Lets's calculate LCM of 960,871
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 836160
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/836160
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 403/960,972/871 is 1/836160
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 960,871 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(960,871) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(960,871) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(960,871) = ( 960 × 871 ) / 1
LCM(960,871) = 836160 / 1
LCM(960,871) = 836160
