Lets's calculate LCM of 327,973
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 318171
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/318171
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 9994/327,8576/973 is 2/318171
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 327,973 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(327,973) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(327,973) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(327,973) = ( 327 × 973 ) / 1
LCM(327,973) = 318171 / 1
LCM(327,973) = 318171
Here are some samples of GCF of Fractions calculations.
