So the greatest common factor 3715,7175 is 5.
Lets's calculate LCM of 961,237
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 227757
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 5/227757
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3715/961,7175/237 is 5/227757
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 961,237 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(961,237) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(961,237) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(961,237) = ( 961 × 237 ) / 1
LCM(961,237) = 227757 / 1
LCM(961,237) = 227757
