We found the factors 881,2976 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 881,2976 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 956,3721
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 3557276
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/3557276
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 881/956,2976/3721 is 1/3557276
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 956,3721 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(956,3721) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(956,3721) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(956,3721) = ( 956 × 3721 ) / 1
LCM(956,3721) = 3557276 / 1
LCM(956,3721) = 3557276
