Lets's calculate LCM of 171,4238
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 724698
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/724698
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 8969/171,7157/4238 is 1/724698
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 171,4238 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(171,4238) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(171,4238) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(171,4238) = ( 171 × 4238 ) / 1
LCM(171,4238) = 724698 / 1
LCM(171,4238) = 724698
