Lets's calculate LCM of 397,211
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 83767
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/83767
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 420/397,7899/211 is 3/83767
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 397,211 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(397,211) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(397,211) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(397,211) = ( 397 × 211 ) / 1
LCM(397,211) = 83767 / 1
LCM(397,211) = 83767
