Lets's calculate LCM of 123,367
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 45141
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/45141
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 970/123,8972/367 is 2/45141
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 123,367 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(123,367) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(123,367) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(123,367) = ( 123 × 367 ) / 1
LCM(123,367) = 45141 / 1
LCM(123,367) = 45141
