Lets's calculate LCM of 193,5791
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 1117663
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 42/1117663
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 168/193,2226/5791 is 42/1117663
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 193,5791 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(193,5791) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(193,5791) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(193,5791) = ( 193 × 5791 ) / 1
LCM(193,5791) = 1117663 / 1
LCM(193,5791) = 1117663
