Lets's calculate LCM of 764,187
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 142868
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/142868
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3159/764,4308/187 is 3/142868
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 764,187 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(764,187) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(764,187) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(764,187) = ( 764 × 187 ) / 1
LCM(764,187) = 142868 / 1
LCM(764,187) = 142868
