Lets's calculate LCM of 968,741
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 717288
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/717288
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 9878/968,5162/741 is 2/717288
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 968,741 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(968,741) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(968,741) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(968,741) = ( 968 × 741 ) / 1
LCM(968,741) = 717288 / 1
LCM(968,741) = 717288
