Lets's calculate LCM of 173,688
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 119024
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/119024
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 918/173,177/688 is 3/119024
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 173,688 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(173,688) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(173,688) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(173,688) = ( 173 × 688 ) / 1
LCM(173,688) = 119024 / 1
LCM(173,688) = 119024
