So the greatest common factor 8902,9666 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 972,6179
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 6005988
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/6005988
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 8902/972,9666/6179 is 2/6005988
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 972,6179 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(972,6179) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(972,6179) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(972,6179) = ( 972 × 6179 ) / 1
LCM(972,6179) = 6005988 / 1
LCM(972,6179) = 6005988
