Lets's calculate LCM of 966,1970
2 | 966, 1970 |
483, 985 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 2 x 483 x 985 = 951510
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/951510
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 9721/966,8752/1970 is 1/951510
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 966,1970 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(966,1970) = 2
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(966,1970) x common factors =2 x 1 = 2
LCM(966,1970) = ( 966 × 1970 ) / 2
LCM(966,1970) = 1903020 / 2
LCM(966,1970) = 951510
