Lets's calculate LCM of 953,758
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 722374
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/722374
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5968/953,3957/758 is 1/722374
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 953,758 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(953,758) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(953,758) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(953,758) = ( 953 × 758 ) / 1
LCM(953,758) = 722374 / 1
LCM(953,758) = 722374
