Lets's calculate LCM of 601,9761
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 5866361
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/5866361
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 7137/601,5996/9761 is 1/5866361
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 601,9761 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(601,9761) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(601,9761) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(601,9761) = ( 601 × 9761 ) / 1
LCM(601,9761) = 5866361 / 1
LCM(601,9761) = 5866361
