Lets's calculate LCM of 119,8173
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 972587
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 38/972587
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 9956/119,9690/8173 is 38/972587
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 119,8173 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(119,8173) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(119,8173) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(119,8173) = ( 119 × 8173 ) / 1
LCM(119,8173) = 972587 / 1
LCM(119,8173) = 972587
