Lets's calculate LCM of 968,7351
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 7115768
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/7115768
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 789/968,4473/7351 is 3/7115768
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 968,7351 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(968,7351) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(968,7351) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(968,7351) = ( 968 × 7351 ) / 1
LCM(968,7351) = 7115768 / 1
LCM(968,7351) = 7115768
