Lets's calculate LCM of 172,7291
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 1254052
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/1254052
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3733/172,1260/7291 is 1/1254052
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 172,7291 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(172,7291) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(172,7291) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(172,7291) = ( 172 × 7291 ) / 1
LCM(172,7291) = 1254052 / 1
LCM(172,7291) = 1254052
