So the greatest common factor 1425,2616 is 3.
Lets's calculate LCM of 48,373
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 17904
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/17904
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1425/48,2616/373 is 3/17904
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 48,373 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(48,373) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(48,373) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(48,373) = ( 48 × 373 ) / 1
LCM(48,373) = 17904 / 1
LCM(48,373) = 17904
