Lets's calculate LCM of 237,733
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 173721
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/173721
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 393/237,942/733 is 3/173721
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 237,733 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(237,733) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(237,733) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(237,733) = ( 237 × 733 ) / 1
LCM(237,733) = 173721 / 1
LCM(237,733) = 173721
