Lets's calculate LCM of 178,515
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 91670
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/91670
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3718/178,7981/515 is 1/91670
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 178,515 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(178,515) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(178,515) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(178,515) = ( 178 × 515 ) / 1
LCM(178,515) = 91670 / 1
LCM(178,515) = 91670
