Lets's calculate LCM of 897,3957
3 | 897, 3957 |
299, 1319 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 299 x 1319 = 1183143
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 6/1183143
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 9714/897,9588/3957 is 6/1183143
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 897,3957 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(897,3957) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(897,3957) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(897,3957) = ( 897 × 3957 ) / 3
LCM(897,3957) = 3549429 / 3
LCM(897,3957) = 1183143
