Lets's calculate LCM of 278,495
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 137610
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 15/137610
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 495/278,3225/495 is 15/137610
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 278,495 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(278,495) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(278,495) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(278,495) = ( 278 × 495 ) / 1
LCM(278,495) = 137610 / 1
LCM(278,495) = 137610
