Lets's calculate LCM of 973,601
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 584773
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/584773
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 7396/973,7866/601 is 2/584773
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 973,601 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(973,601) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(973,601) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(973,601) = ( 973 × 601 ) / 1
LCM(973,601) = 584773 / 1
LCM(973,601) = 584773
