So the greatest common factor 974,420 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 6877,3905
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 26854685
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/26854685
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 974/6877,420/3905 is 2/26854685
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 6877,3905 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(6877,3905) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(6877,3905) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(6877,3905) = ( 6877 × 3905 ) / 1
LCM(6877,3905) = 26854685 / 1
LCM(6877,3905) = 26854685
