So the greatest common factor 9580,5156 is 4.
Lets's calculate LCM of 957,388
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 371316
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/371316
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 9580/957,5156/388 is 4/371316
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 957,388 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(957,388) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(957,388) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(957,388) = ( 957 × 388 ) / 1
LCM(957,388) = 371316 / 1
LCM(957,388) = 371316
