Lets's calculate LCM of 173,371
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 64183
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 11/64183
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1287/173,6358/371 is 11/64183
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 173,371 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(173,371) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(173,371) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(173,371) = ( 173 × 371 ) / 1
LCM(173,371) = 64183 / 1
LCM(173,371) = 64183
