So the greatest common factor 2848,2728 is 8.
Lets's calculate LCM of 173,6960
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 1204080
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 8/1204080
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2848/173,2728/6960 is 8/1204080
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 173,6960 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(173,6960) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(173,6960) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(173,6960) = ( 173 × 6960 ) / 1
LCM(173,6960) = 1204080 / 1
LCM(173,6960) = 1204080
