Lets's calculate LCM of 971,937
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 909827
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/909827
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 546/971,3548/937 is 2/909827
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 971,937 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(971,937) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(971,937) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(971,937) = ( 971 × 937 ) / 1
LCM(971,937) = 909827 / 1
LCM(971,937) = 909827
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
