Lets's calculate LCM of 173,506
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 87538
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/87538
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 7029/173,6868/506 is 1/87538
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 173,506 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(173,506) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(173,506) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(173,506) = ( 173 × 506 ) / 1
LCM(173,506) = 87538 / 1
LCM(173,506) = 87538
