So the greatest common factor 3170,5634 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 79,997
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 78763
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/78763
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3170/79,5634/997 is 2/78763
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 79,997 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(79,997) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(79,997) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(79,997) = ( 79 × 997 ) / 1
LCM(79,997) = 78763 / 1
LCM(79,997) = 78763
