Lets's calculate LCM of 173,609
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 105357
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 23/105357
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 552/173,8855/609 is 23/105357
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 173,609 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(173,609) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(173,609) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(173,609) = ( 173 × 609 ) / 1
LCM(173,609) = 105357 / 1
LCM(173,609) = 105357
