Lets's calculate LCM of 959,9172
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 8795948
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/8795948
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5952/959,3574/9172 is 2/8795948
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 959,9172 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(959,9172) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(959,9172) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(959,9172) = ( 959 × 9172 ) / 1
LCM(959,9172) = 8795948 / 1
LCM(959,9172) = 8795948
