Lets's calculate LCM of 174,257
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 44718
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/44718
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 206/174,852/257 is 2/44718
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 174,257 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(174,257) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(174,257) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(174,257) = ( 174 × 257 ) / 1
LCM(174,257) = 44718 / 1
LCM(174,257) = 44718
