Lets's calculate LCM of 231,757
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 174867
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/174867
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1274/231,6938/757 is 2/174867
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 231,757 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(231,757) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(231,757) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(231,757) = ( 231 × 757 ) / 1
LCM(231,757) = 174867 / 1
LCM(231,757) = 174867
