Lets's calculate LCM of 169,968
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 163592
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/163592
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 384/169,686/968 is 2/163592
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 169,968 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(169,968) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(169,968) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(169,968) = ( 169 × 968 ) / 1
LCM(169,968) = 163592 / 1
LCM(169,968) = 163592
