Lets's calculate LCM of 475,187
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 88825
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/88825
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 9171/475,8958/187 is 3/88825
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 475,187 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(475,187) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(475,187) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(475,187) = ( 475 × 187 ) / 1
LCM(475,187) = 88825 / 1
LCM(475,187) = 88825
