Greatest Common Factor
We found the factors 3876,8710 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 3876,8710 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 10,973
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 9730
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/9730
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3876/10,8710/973 is 2/9730
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 10,973 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(10,973) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(10,973) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(10,973) = ( 10 × 973 ) / 1
LCM(10,973) = 9730 / 1
LCM(10,973) = 9730
