Lets's calculate LCM of 973,156
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 151788
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/151788
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 336/973,537/156 is 3/151788
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 973,156 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(973,156) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(973,156) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(973,156) = ( 973 × 156 ) / 1
LCM(973,156) = 151788 / 1
LCM(973,156) = 151788
