Lets's calculate LCM of 357,115
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 41055
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 81/41055
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1215/357,5508/115 is 81/41055
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 357,115 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(357,115) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(357,115) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(357,115) = ( 357 × 115 ) / 1
LCM(357,115) = 41055 / 1
LCM(357,115) = 41055
