Lets's calculate LCM of 265,3537
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 937305
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/937305
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1598/265,1744/3537 is 2/937305
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 265,3537 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(265,3537) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(265,3537) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(265,3537) = ( 265 × 3537 ) / 1
LCM(265,3537) = 937305 / 1
LCM(265,3537) = 937305
