Lets's calculate LCM of 135,8543
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 1153305
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/1153305
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 38/135,5524/8543 is 2/1153305
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 135,8543 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(135,8543) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(135,8543) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(135,8543) = ( 135 × 8543 ) / 1
LCM(135,8543) = 1153305 / 1
LCM(135,8543) = 1153305
