Lets's calculate LCM of 157,7315
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 1148455
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/1148455
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1545/157,2199/7315 is 3/1148455
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 157,7315 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(157,7315) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(157,7315) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(157,7315) = ( 157 × 7315 ) / 1
LCM(157,7315) = 1148455 / 1
LCM(157,7315) = 1148455
