Lets's calculate LCM of 962,397
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 381914
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 16/381914
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 944/962,832/397 is 16/381914
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 962,397 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(962,397) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(962,397) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(962,397) = ( 962 × 397 ) / 1
LCM(962,397) = 381914 / 1
LCM(962,397) = 381914
