Lets's calculate LCM of 137,385
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 52745
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/52745
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 995/137,872/385 is 1/52745
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 137,385 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(137,385) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(137,385) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(137,385) = ( 137 × 385 ) / 1
LCM(137,385) = 52745 / 1
LCM(137,385) = 52745
