So the greatest common factor 2336,5574 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 170,217
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 36890
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/36890
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2336/170,5574/217 is 2/36890
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 170,217 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(170,217) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(170,217) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(170,217) = ( 170 × 217 ) / 1
LCM(170,217) = 36890 / 1
LCM(170,217) = 36890
