Lets's calculate LCM of 139,737
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 102443
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/102443
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 968/139,156/737 is 4/102443
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 139,737 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(139,737) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(139,737) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(139,737) = ( 139 × 737 ) / 1
LCM(139,737) = 102443 / 1
LCM(139,737) = 102443
