Lets's calculate LCM of 173,5872
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 1015856
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/1015856
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 8593/173,8988/5872 is 1/1015856
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 173,5872 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(173,5872) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(173,5872) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(173,5872) = ( 173 × 5872 ) / 1
LCM(173,5872) = 1015856 / 1
LCM(173,5872) = 1015856
