We found the factors 9712,3856 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 9712,3856 is 16.
Lets's calculate LCM of 254,3817
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 969518
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 16/969518
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 9712/254,3856/3817 is 16/969518
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 254,3817 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(254,3817) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(254,3817) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(254,3817) = ( 254 × 3817 ) / 1
LCM(254,3817) = 969518 / 1
LCM(254,3817) = 969518
