Lets's calculate LCM of 171,6497
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 1110987
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/1110987
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3604/171,8991/6497 is 1/1110987
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 171,6497 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(171,6497) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(171,6497) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(171,6497) = ( 171 × 6497 ) / 1
LCM(171,6497) = 1110987 / 1
LCM(171,6497) = 1110987
