Lets's calculate LCM of 254,7625
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 1936750
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/1936750
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3717/254,9957/7625 is 3/1936750
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 254,7625 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(254,7625) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(254,7625) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(254,7625) = ( 254 × 7625 ) / 1
LCM(254,7625) = 1936750 / 1
LCM(254,7625) = 1936750
