Lets's calculate LCM of 956,6961
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 6654716
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/6654716
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 369/956,6618/6961 is 3/6654716
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 956,6961 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(956,6961) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(956,6961) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(956,6961) = ( 956 × 6961 ) / 1
LCM(956,6961) = 6654716 / 1
LCM(956,6961) = 6654716
