Lets's calculate LCM of 161,725
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 116725
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/116725
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 376/161,218/725 is 2/116725
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 161,725 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(161,725) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(161,725) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(161,725) = ( 161 × 725 ) / 1
LCM(161,725) = 116725 / 1
LCM(161,725) = 116725
