So the greatest common factor 7446,8978 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 929,1267
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 1177043
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/1177043
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 7446/929,8978/1267 is 2/1177043
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 929,1267 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(929,1267) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(929,1267) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(929,1267) = ( 929 × 1267 ) / 1
LCM(929,1267) = 1177043 / 1
LCM(929,1267) = 1177043
