Lets's calculate LCM of 267,1173
3 | 267, 1173 |
89, 391 |
∴ So the LCM of the given numbers is 3 x 89 x 391 = 104397
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/104397
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 8473/267,7440/1173 is 1/104397
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 267,1173 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(267,1173) = 3
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(267,1173) x common factors =3 x 1 = 3
LCM(267,1173) = ( 267 × 1173 ) / 3
LCM(267,1173) = 313191 / 3
LCM(267,1173) = 104397
