Lets's calculate LCM of 462,925
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 427350
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/427350
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 7122/462,5235/925 is 3/427350
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 462,925 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(462,925) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(462,925) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(462,925) = ( 462 × 925 ) / 1
LCM(462,925) = 427350 / 1
LCM(462,925) = 427350
