So the greatest common factor 7004,3782 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 173,683
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 118159
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/118159
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 7004/173,3782/683 is 2/118159
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 173,683 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(173,683) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(173,683) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(173,683) = ( 173 × 683 ) / 1
LCM(173,683) = 118159 / 1
LCM(173,683) = 118159
