Lets's calculate LCM of 874,457
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 399418
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/399418
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 7137/874,4980/457 is 3/399418
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 874,457 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(874,457) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(874,457) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(874,457) = ( 874 × 457 ) / 1
LCM(874,457) = 399418 / 1
LCM(874,457) = 399418
