Lets's calculate LCM of 747,139
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 103833
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/103833
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 438/747,874/139 is 2/103833
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 747,139 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(747,139) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(747,139) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(747,139) = ( 747 × 139 ) / 1
LCM(747,139) = 103833 / 1
LCM(747,139) = 103833
