Lets's calculate LCM of 172,597
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 102684
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/102684
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 6072/172,3745/597 is 1/102684
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 172,597 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(172,597) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(172,597) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(172,597) = ( 172 × 597 ) / 1
LCM(172,597) = 102684 / 1
LCM(172,597) = 102684
