Lets's calculate LCM of 997,380
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 378860
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/378860
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 9686/997,5712/380 is 2/378860
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 997,380 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(997,380) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(997,380) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(997,380) = ( 997 × 380 ) / 1
LCM(997,380) = 378860 / 1
LCM(997,380) = 378860
