So the greatest common factor 6536,5907 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 172,357
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 61404
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/61404
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 6536/172,5907/357 is 1/61404
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 172,357 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(172,357) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(172,357) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(172,357) = ( 172 × 357 ) / 1
LCM(172,357) = 61404 / 1
LCM(172,357) = 61404
