Lets's calculate LCM of 235,8664
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 2036040
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/2036040
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 173/235,7044/8664 is 1/2036040
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 235,8664 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(235,8664) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(235,8664) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(235,8664) = ( 235 × 8664 ) / 1
LCM(235,8664) = 2036040 / 1
LCM(235,8664) = 2036040
