We found the factors 976,3144 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 976,3144 is 8.
Lets's calculate LCM of 63,260
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 16380
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 8/16380
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 976/63,3144/260 is 8/16380
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 63,260 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(63,260) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(63,260) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(63,260) = ( 63 × 260 ) / 1
LCM(63,260) = 16380 / 1
LCM(63,260) = 16380
