Lets's calculate LCM of 127,3425
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 434975
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 61/434975
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3538/127,1159/3425 is 61/434975
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 127,3425 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(127,3425) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(127,3425) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(127,3425) = ( 127 × 3425 ) / 1
LCM(127,3425) = 434975 / 1
LCM(127,3425) = 434975
