Lets's calculate LCM of 77,939
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 72303
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/72303
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 8974/77,4726/939 is 2/72303
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 77,939 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(77,939) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(77,939) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(77,939) = ( 77 × 939 ) / 1
LCM(77,939) = 72303 / 1
LCM(77,939) = 72303
