Lets's calculate LCM of 947,2201
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 2084347
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/2084347
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1962/947,6645/2201 is 3/2084347
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 947,2201 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(947,2201) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(947,2201) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(947,2201) = ( 947 × 2201 ) / 1
LCM(947,2201) = 2084347 / 1
LCM(947,2201) = 2084347
