Lets's calculate LCM of 173,6121
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 1058933
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/1058933
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1736/173,5618/6121 is 2/1058933
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 173,6121 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(173,6121) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(173,6121) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(173,6121) = ( 173 × 6121 ) / 1
LCM(173,6121) = 1058933 / 1
LCM(173,6121) = 1058933
