Lets's calculate LCM of 171,897
3 | 171, 897 |
57, 299 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 57 x 299 = 51129
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/51129
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 197/171,946/897 is 1/51129
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 171,897 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(171,897) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(171,897) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(171,897) = ( 171 × 897 ) / 3
LCM(171,897) = 153387 / 3
LCM(171,897) = 51129
