Lets's calculate LCM of 135,563
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 76005
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/76005
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5835/135,7236/563 is 3/76005
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 135,563 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(135,563) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(135,563) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(135,563) = ( 135 × 563 ) / 1
LCM(135,563) = 76005 / 1
LCM(135,563) = 76005
