Lets's calculate LCM of 137,256
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 35072
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 13/35072
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 975/137,338/256 is 13/35072
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 137,256 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(137,256) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(137,256) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(137,256) = ( 137 × 256 ) / 1
LCM(137,256) = 35072 / 1
LCM(137,256) = 35072
