Lets's calculate LCM of 757,274
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 207418
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/207418
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 7239/757,8748/274 is 3/207418
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 757,274 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(757,274) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(757,274) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(757,274) = ( 757 × 274 ) / 1
LCM(757,274) = 207418 / 1
LCM(757,274) = 207418
