So the greatest common factor 3588,3185 is 13.
Lets's calculate LCM of 25,373
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 9325
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 13/9325
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3588/25,3185/373 is 13/9325
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 25,373 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(25,373) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(25,373) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(25,373) = ( 25 × 373 ) / 1
LCM(25,373) = 9325 / 1
LCM(25,373) = 9325
