Lets's calculate LCM of 617,8050
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 4966850
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 17/4966850
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 9979/617,3978/8050 is 17/4966850
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 617,8050 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(617,8050) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(617,8050) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(617,8050) = ( 617 × 8050 ) / 1
LCM(617,8050) = 4966850 / 1
LCM(617,8050) = 4966850
