Lets's calculate LCM of 173,1608
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 278184
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/278184
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3545/173,5799/1608 is 1/278184
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 173,1608 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(173,1608) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(173,1608) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(173,1608) = ( 173 × 1608 ) / 1
LCM(173,1608) = 278184 / 1
LCM(173,1608) = 278184
