Lets's calculate LCM of 277,961
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 266197
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/266197
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 9582/277,3872/961 is 2/266197
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 277,961 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(277,961) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(277,961) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(277,961) = ( 277 × 961 ) / 1
LCM(277,961) = 266197 / 1
LCM(277,961) = 266197
