Lets's calculate LCM of 217,131
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 28427
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/28427
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 537/217,3730/131 is 1/28427
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 217,131 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(217,131) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(217,131) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(217,131) = ( 217 × 131 ) / 1
LCM(217,131) = 28427 / 1
LCM(217,131) = 28427
