Lets's calculate LCM of 734,297
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 217998
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/217998
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 171/734,4953/297 is 3/217998
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 734,297 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(734,297) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(734,297) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(734,297) = ( 734 × 297 ) / 1
LCM(734,297) = 217998 / 1
LCM(734,297) = 217998
