Lets's calculate LCM of 936,173
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 161928
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/161928
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 371/936,2892/173 is 1/161928
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 936,173 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(936,173) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(936,173) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(936,173) = ( 936 × 173 ) / 1
LCM(936,173) = 161928 / 1
LCM(936,173) = 161928
