Lets's calculate LCM of 816,125
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 102000
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/102000
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2498/816,3146/125 is 2/102000
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 816,125 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(816,125) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(816,125) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(816,125) = ( 816 × 125 ) / 1
LCM(816,125) = 102000 / 1
LCM(816,125) = 102000
