So the greatest common factor 9957,2052 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 861,8974
7 | 861, 8974 |
123, 1282 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 7 x 123 x 1282 = 1103802
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/1103802
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 9957/861,2052/8974 is 3/1103802
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 861,8974 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(861,8974) = 7
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(861,8974) x common factors =7 x 1 = 7
LCM(861,8974) = ( 861 × 8974 ) / 7
LCM(861,8974) = 7726614 / 7
LCM(861,8974) = 1103802
