Lets's calculate LCM of 17,361
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 6137
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/6137
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 9956/17,4780/361 is 4/6137
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 17,361 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(17,361) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(17,361) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(17,361) = ( 17 × 361 ) / 1
LCM(17,361) = 6137 / 1
LCM(17,361) = 6137
