So the greatest common factor 6939,2472 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 761,7987
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 6078107
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/6078107
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 6939/761,2472/7987 is 3/6078107
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 761,7987 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(761,7987) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(761,7987) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(761,7987) = ( 761 × 7987 ) / 1
LCM(761,7987) = 6078107 / 1
LCM(761,7987) = 6078107
