Lets's calculate LCM of 173,4020
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 695460
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 9/695460
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 315/173,8982/4020 is 9/695460
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 173,4020 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(173,4020) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(173,4020) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(173,4020) = ( 173 × 4020 ) / 1
LCM(173,4020) = 695460 / 1
LCM(173,4020) = 695460
