Lets's calculate LCM of 976,3921
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 3826896
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 12/3826896
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 8652/976,4236/3921 is 12/3826896
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 976,3921 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(976,3921) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(976,3921) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(976,3921) = ( 976 × 3921 ) / 1
LCM(976,3921) = 3826896 / 1
LCM(976,3921) = 3826896
