Lets's calculate LCM of 146,601
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 87746
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 11/87746
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 176/146,3553/601 is 11/87746
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 146,601 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(146,601) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(146,601) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(146,601) = ( 146 × 601 ) / 1
LCM(146,601) = 87746 / 1
LCM(146,601) = 87746
