So the greatest common factor 9572,2120 is 4.
Lets's calculate LCM of 779,157
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 122303
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/122303
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 9572/779,2120/157 is 4/122303
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 779,157 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(779,157) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(779,157) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(779,157) = ( 779 × 157 ) / 1
LCM(779,157) = 122303 / 1
LCM(779,157) = 122303
