Lets's calculate LCM of 971,1461
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 1418631
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/1418631
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 9606/971,8744/1461 is 2/1418631
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 971,1461 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(971,1461) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(971,1461) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(971,1461) = ( 971 × 1461 ) / 1
LCM(971,1461) = 1418631 / 1
LCM(971,1461) = 1418631
