So the greatest common factor 7170,8412 is 6.
Lets's calculate LCM of 23,297
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 6831
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 6/6831
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 7170/23,8412/297 is 6/6831
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 23,297 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(23,297) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(23,297) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(23,297) = ( 23 × 297 ) / 1
LCM(23,297) = 6831 / 1
LCM(23,297) = 6831
