Lowest Common Multiple of 153,1973 using Common Division

Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 301869

Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/301869

Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 38/153,21/1973 is 1/301869

Least Common Multiple of 153,1973 with GCF Formula

The formula of LCM is LCM(a₁,a₂,a₃....,a_n) = ( a₁ × a₂ × a₃ × .... × a_n) / GCF(a₁,a₂,a₃....,a_n) x common factors(if more than 2 numbers have common factors).

We need to calculate greatest common factor of 153,1973 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.

GCF(153,1973) = 1

common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1

GCF(153,1973) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1

LCM(153,1973) = ( 153 × 1973 ) / 1

LCM(153,1973) = 301869 / 1

LCM(153,1973) = 301869
