Lets's calculate LCM of 169,947
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 160043
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 7/160043
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 6321/169,1855/947 is 7/160043
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 169,947 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(169,947) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(169,947) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(169,947) = ( 169 × 947 ) / 1
LCM(169,947) = 160043 / 1
LCM(169,947) = 160043
