Lets's calculate LCM of 430,971
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 417530
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 38/417530
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 874/430,4104/971 is 38/417530
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 430,971 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(430,971) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(430,971) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(430,971) = ( 430 × 971 ) / 1
LCM(430,971) = 417530 / 1
LCM(430,971) = 417530
