Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/8541
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 537/13,141/657 is 3/8541
Least Common Multiple of 13,657 with GCF Formula
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 13,657 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(13,657) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(13,657) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(13,657) = ( 13 × 657 ) / 1
LCM(13,657) = 8541 / 1
LCM(13,657) = 8541
