Lets's calculate LCM of 317,273
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 86541
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/86541
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 4237/317,8523/273 is 1/86541
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 317,273 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(317,273) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(317,273) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(317,273) = ( 317 × 273 ) / 1
LCM(317,273) = 86541 / 1
LCM(317,273) = 86541
