We found the factors 4038,3048 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 4038,3048 is 6.
Lets's calculate LCM of 972,9305
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 9044460
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 6/9044460
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 4038/972,3048/9305 is 6/9044460
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 972,9305 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(972,9305) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(972,9305) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(972,9305) = ( 972 × 9305 ) / 1
LCM(972,9305) = 9044460 / 1
LCM(972,9305) = 9044460
