Lets's calculate LCM of 169,2943
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 497367
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/497367
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 4640/169,1173/2943 is 1/497367
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 169,2943 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(169,2943) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(169,2943) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(169,2943) = ( 169 × 2943 ) / 1
LCM(169,2943) = 497367 / 1
LCM(169,2943) = 497367
