Lets's calculate LCM of 131,577
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 75587
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/75587
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1174/131,2526/577 is 2/75587
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 131,577 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(131,577) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(131,577) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(131,577) = ( 131 × 577 ) / 1
LCM(131,577) = 75587 / 1
LCM(131,577) = 75587
