Lets's calculate LCM of 145,881
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 127745
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/127745
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 474/145,7269/881 is 3/127745
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 145,881 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(145,881) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(145,881) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(145,881) = ( 145 × 881 ) / 1
LCM(145,881) = 127745 / 1
LCM(145,881) = 127745
