Lets's calculate LCM of 173,990
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 171270
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/171270
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2476/173,3739/990 is 1/171270
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 173,990 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(173,990) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(173,990) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(173,990) = ( 173 × 990 ) / 1
LCM(173,990) = 171270 / 1
LCM(173,990) = 171270
