Lets's calculate LCM of 351,233
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 81783
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/81783
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 168/351,722/233 is 2/81783
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 351,233 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(351,233) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(351,233) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(351,233) = ( 351 × 233 ) / 1
LCM(351,233) = 81783 / 1
LCM(351,233) = 81783
