Lets's calculate LCM of 297,215
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 63855
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/63855
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1638/297,5595/215 is 3/63855
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 297,215 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(297,215) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(297,215) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(297,215) = ( 297 × 215 ) / 1
LCM(297,215) = 63855 / 1
LCM(297,215) = 63855
