So the greatest common factor 3525,8958 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 137,1850
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 253450
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/253450
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3525/137,8958/1850 is 3/253450
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 137,1850 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(137,1850) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(137,1850) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(137,1850) = ( 137 × 1850 ) / 1
LCM(137,1850) = 253450 / 1
LCM(137,1850) = 253450
