So the greatest common factor 132,726 is 66.
Lets's calculate LCM of 37,5267
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 194879
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 66/194879
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 132/37,726/5267 is 66/194879
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 37,5267 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(37,5267) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(37,5267) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(37,5267) = ( 37 × 5267 ) / 1
LCM(37,5267) = 194879 / 1
LCM(37,5267) = 194879
