Lets's calculate LCM of 173,5233
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 905309
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 7/905309
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 448/173,2037/5233 is 7/905309
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 173,5233 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(173,5233) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(173,5233) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(173,5233) = ( 173 × 5233 ) / 1
LCM(173,5233) = 905309 / 1
LCM(173,5233) = 905309
