Lets's calculate LCM of 125,309
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 38625
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 12/38625
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 264/125,444/309 is 12/38625
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 125,309 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(125,309) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(125,309) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(125,309) = ( 125 × 309 ) / 1
LCM(125,309) = 38625 / 1
LCM(125,309) = 38625
