We found the factors 6960,5676 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 6960,5676 is 12.
Lets's calculate LCM of 857,4053
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 3473421
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 12/3473421
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 6960/857,5676/4053 is 12/3473421
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 857,4053 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(857,4053) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(857,4053) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(857,4053) = ( 857 × 4053 ) / 1
LCM(857,4053) = 3473421 / 1
LCM(857,4053) = 3473421
