Lets's calculate LCM of 881,8516
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 7502596
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/7502596
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1737/881,7125/8516 is 3/7502596
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 881,8516 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(881,8516) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(881,8516) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(881,8516) = ( 881 × 8516 ) / 1
LCM(881,8516) = 7502596 / 1
LCM(881,8516) = 7502596
