So the greatest common factor 6957,8560 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 271,3929
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 1064759
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/1064759
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 6957/271,8560/3929 is 1/1064759
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 271,3929 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(271,3929) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(271,3929) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(271,3929) = ( 271 × 3929 ) / 1
LCM(271,3929) = 1064759 / 1
LCM(271,3929) = 1064759
