Lets's calculate LCM of 991,175
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 173425
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/173425
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 4507/991,5072/175 is 1/173425
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 991,175 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(991,175) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(991,175) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(991,175) = ( 991 × 175 ) / 1
LCM(991,175) = 173425 / 1
LCM(991,175) = 173425
