Lets's calculate LCM of 163,6072
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 989736
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/989736
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5552/163,2956/6072 is 4/989736
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 163,6072 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(163,6072) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(163,6072) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(163,6072) = ( 163 × 6072 ) / 1
LCM(163,6072) = 989736 / 1
LCM(163,6072) = 989736
