Lets's calculate LCM of 725,837
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 606825
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 23/606825
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 391/725,736/837 is 23/606825
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 725,837 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(725,837) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(725,837) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(725,837) = ( 725 × 837 ) / 1
LCM(725,837) = 606825 / 1
LCM(725,837) = 606825
