Lets's calculate LCM of 143,1036
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 148148
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/148148
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 48/143,2837/1036 is 1/148148
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 143,1036 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(143,1036) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(143,1036) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(143,1036) = ( 143 × 1036 ) / 1
LCM(143,1036) = 148148 / 1
LCM(143,1036) = 148148
