Lets's calculate LCM of 972,4303
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 4182516
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/4182516
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 7196/972,3798/4303 is 2/4182516
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 972,4303 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(972,4303) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(972,4303) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(972,4303) = ( 972 × 4303 ) / 1
LCM(972,4303) = 4182516 / 1
LCM(972,4303) = 4182516
