Lets's calculate LCM of 317,525
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 166425
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 13/166425
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1989/317,9542/525 is 13/166425
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 317,525 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(317,525) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(317,525) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(317,525) = ( 317 × 525 ) / 1
LCM(317,525) = 166425 / 1
LCM(317,525) = 166425
