Lets's calculate LCM of 173,669
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 115737
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/115737
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5295/173,7893/669 is 3/115737
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 173,669 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(173,669) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(173,669) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(173,669) = ( 173 × 669 ) / 1
LCM(173,669) = 115737 / 1
LCM(173,669) = 115737
