So the greatest common factor 6874,7756 is 14.
Lets's calculate LCM of 138,937
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 129306
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 14/129306
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 6874/138,7756/937 is 14/129306
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 138,937 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(138,937) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(138,937) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(138,937) = ( 138 × 937 ) / 1
LCM(138,937) = 129306 / 1
LCM(138,937) = 129306
