Lets's calculate LCM of 167,781
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 130427
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/130427
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1162/167,3604/781 is 2/130427
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 167,781 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(167,781) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(167,781) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(167,781) = ( 167 × 781 ) / 1
LCM(167,781) = 130427 / 1
LCM(167,781) = 130427
