Lets's calculate LCM of 908,159
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 144372
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/144372
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1706/908,3749/159 is 1/144372
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 908,159 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(908,159) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(908,159) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(908,159) = ( 908 × 159 ) / 1
LCM(908,159) = 144372 / 1
LCM(908,159) = 144372
