So the greatest common factor 9741,1665 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 429,899
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 385671
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/385671
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 9741/429,1665/899 is 3/385671
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 429,899 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(429,899) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(429,899) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(429,899) = ( 429 × 899 ) / 1
LCM(429,899) = 385671 / 1
LCM(429,899) = 385671
