We found the factors 7572,4785 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 7572,4785 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 978,9871
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 9653838
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/9653838
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 7572/978,4785/9871 is 3/9653838
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 978,9871 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(978,9871) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(978,9871) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(978,9871) = ( 978 × 9871 ) / 1
LCM(978,9871) = 9653838 / 1
LCM(978,9871) = 9653838
