So the greatest common factor 969,246 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 952,167
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 158984
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/158984
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 969/952,246/167 is 3/158984
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 952,167 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(952,167) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(952,167) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(952,167) = ( 952 × 167 ) / 1
LCM(952,167) = 158984 / 1
LCM(952,167) = 158984
