Lets's calculate LCM of 172,3263
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 561236
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/561236
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 228/172,9862/3263 is 2/561236
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 172,3263 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(172,3263) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(172,3263) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(172,3263) = ( 172 × 3263 ) / 1
LCM(172,3263) = 561236 / 1
LCM(172,3263) = 561236
