So the greatest common factor 917,294 is 7.
Lets's calculate LCM of 73,223
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 16279
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 7/16279
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 917/73,294/223 is 7/16279
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 73,223 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(73,223) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(73,223) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(73,223) = ( 73 × 223 ) / 1
LCM(73,223) = 16279 / 1
LCM(73,223) = 16279
