So the greatest common factor 553,875 is 7.
Lets's calculate LCM of 387,173
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 66951
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 7/66951
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 553/387,875/173 is 7/66951
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 387,173 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(387,173) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(387,173) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(387,173) = ( 387 × 173 ) / 1
LCM(387,173) = 66951 / 1
LCM(387,173) = 66951
