Lets's calculate LCM of 157,9436
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 1481452
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 11/1481452
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 4257/157,2750/9436 is 11/1481452
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 157,9436 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(157,9436) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(157,9436) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(157,9436) = ( 157 × 9436 ) / 1
LCM(157,9436) = 1481452 / 1
LCM(157,9436) = 1481452
