Lets's calculate LCM of 973,5960
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 5799080
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/5799080
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 8347/973,1939/5960 is 1/5799080
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 973,5960 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(973,5960) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(973,5960) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(973,5960) = ( 973 × 5960 ) / 1
LCM(973,5960) = 5799080 / 1
LCM(973,5960) = 5799080
