Lets's calculate LCM of 53,3297
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 174741
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 43/174741
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 516/53,473/3297 is 43/174741
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 53,3297 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(53,3297) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(53,3297) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(53,3297) = ( 53 × 3297 ) / 1
LCM(53,3297) = 174741 / 1
LCM(53,3297) = 174741
