Lets's calculate LCM of 137,859
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 117683
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 7/117683
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 749/137,532/859 is 7/117683
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 137,859 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(137,859) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(137,859) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(137,859) = ( 137 × 859 ) / 1
LCM(137,859) = 117683 / 1
LCM(137,859) = 117683
