Lets's calculate LCM of 173,533
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 92209
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/92209
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 7350/173,2938/533 is 2/92209
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 173,533 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(173,533) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(173,533) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(173,533) = ( 173 × 533 ) / 1
LCM(173,533) = 92209 / 1
LCM(173,533) = 92209
