So the greatest common factor 747,870 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 173,920
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 159160
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/159160
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 747/173,870/920 is 3/159160
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 173,920 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(173,920) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(173,920) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(173,920) = ( 173 × 920 ) / 1
LCM(173,920) = 159160 / 1
LCM(173,920) = 159160
