Lets's calculate LCM of 47,161
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 7567
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/7567
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3602/47,3194/161 is 2/7567
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 47,161 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(47,161) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(47,161) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(47,161) = ( 47 × 161 ) / 1
LCM(47,161) = 7567 / 1
LCM(47,161) = 7567
