So the greatest common factor 132,942 is 6.
Lets's calculate LCM of 169,374
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 63206
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 6/63206
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 132/169,942/374 is 6/63206
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 169,374 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(169,374) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(169,374) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(169,374) = ( 169 × 374 ) / 1
LCM(169,374) = 63206 / 1
LCM(169,374) = 63206
