Lets's calculate LCM of 625,183
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 114375
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/114375
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2556/625,5127/183 is 3/114375
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 625,183 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(625,183) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(625,183) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(625,183) = ( 625 × 183 ) / 1
LCM(625,183) = 114375 / 1
LCM(625,183) = 114375
