Lets's calculate LCM of 397,8971
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 3561487
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/3561487
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 9952/397,7382/8971 is 2/3561487
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 397,8971 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(397,8971) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(397,8971) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(397,8971) = ( 397 × 8971 ) / 1
LCM(397,8971) = 3561487 / 1
LCM(397,8971) = 3561487
