So the greatest common factor 7972,9976 is 4.
Lets's calculate LCM of 742,7857
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 5829894
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/5829894
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 7972/742,9976/7857 is 4/5829894
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 742,7857 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(742,7857) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(742,7857) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(742,7857) = ( 742 × 7857 ) / 1
LCM(742,7857) = 5829894 / 1
LCM(742,7857) = 5829894
