Lets's calculate LCM of 146,995
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 145270
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/145270
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 8887/146,5337/995 is 1/145270
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 146,995 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(146,995) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(146,995) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(146,995) = ( 146 × 995 ) / 1
LCM(146,995) = 145270 / 1
LCM(146,995) = 145270
