So the greatest common factor 9261,8397 is 27.
Lets's calculate LCM of 971,1724
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 1674004
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 27/1674004
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 9261/971,8397/1724 is 27/1674004
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 971,1724 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(971,1724) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(971,1724) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(971,1724) = ( 971 × 1724 ) / 1
LCM(971,1724) = 1674004 / 1
LCM(971,1724) = 1674004
