Lets's calculate LCM of 264,971
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 256344
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/256344
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 8778/264,1131/971 is 3/256344
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 264,971 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(264,971) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(264,971) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(264,971) = ( 264 × 971 ) / 1
LCM(264,971) = 256344 / 1
LCM(264,971) = 256344
