Lets's calculate LCM of 171,7203
3 | 171, 7203 |
57, 2401 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 57 x 2401 = 410571
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/410571
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1902/171,6242/7203 is 2/410571
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 171,7203 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(171,7203) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(171,7203) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(171,7203) = ( 171 × 7203 ) / 3
LCM(171,7203) = 1231713 / 3
LCM(171,7203) = 410571
