Lets's calculate LCM of 137,397
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 54389
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/54389
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 7257/137,2106/397 is 3/54389
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 137,397 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(137,397) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(137,397) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(137,397) = ( 137 × 397 ) / 1
LCM(137,397) = 54389 / 1
LCM(137,397) = 54389
