Lets's calculate LCM of 125,3679
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 459875
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/459875
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5255/125,3612/3679 is 1/459875
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 125,3679 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(125,3679) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(125,3679) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(125,3679) = ( 125 × 3679 ) / 1
LCM(125,3679) = 459875 / 1
LCM(125,3679) = 459875
