Lets's calculate LCM of 532,9397
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 4999204
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/4999204
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 507/532,3957/9397 is 3/4999204
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 532,9397 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(532,9397) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(532,9397) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(532,9397) = ( 532 × 9397 ) / 1
LCM(532,9397) = 4999204 / 1
LCM(532,9397) = 4999204
