So the greatest common factor 932,7908 is 4.
Lets's calculate LCM of 987,974
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 961338
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/961338
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 932/987,7908/974 is 4/961338
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 987,974 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(987,974) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(987,974) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(987,974) = ( 987 × 974 ) / 1
LCM(987,974) = 961338 / 1
LCM(987,974) = 961338
