So the greatest common factor 375,597 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 149,173
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 25777
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/25777
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 375/149,597/173 is 3/25777
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 149,173 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(149,173) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(149,173) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(149,173) = ( 149 × 173 ) / 1
LCM(149,173) = 25777 / 1
LCM(149,173) = 25777
