Lets's calculate LCM of 305,236
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 71980
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 5/71980
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 8525/305,1915/236 is 5/71980
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 305,236 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(305,236) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(305,236) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(305,236) = ( 305 × 236 ) / 1
LCM(305,236) = 71980 / 1
LCM(305,236) = 71980
