Lets's calculate LCM of 32,225
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 7200
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/7200
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 6938/32,3440/225 is 2/7200
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 32,225 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(32,225) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(32,225) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(32,225) = ( 32 × 225 ) / 1
LCM(32,225) = 7200 / 1
LCM(32,225) = 7200
