Lets's calculate LCM of 129,371
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 47859
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/47859
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 8916/129,1881/371 is 3/47859
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 129,371 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(129,371) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(129,371) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(129,371) = ( 129 × 371 ) / 1
LCM(129,371) = 47859 / 1
LCM(129,371) = 47859
