Lets's calculate LCM of 255,848
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 216240
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 25/216240
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1475/255,5875/848 is 25/216240
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 255,848 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(255,848) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(255,848) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(255,848) = ( 255 × 848 ) / 1
LCM(255,848) = 216240 / 1
LCM(255,848) = 216240
