Lets's calculate LCM of 199,173
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 34427
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/34427
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 842/199,582/173 is 2/34427
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 199,173 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(199,173) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(199,173) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(199,173) = ( 199 × 173 ) / 1
LCM(199,173) = 34427 / 1
LCM(199,173) = 34427
