So the greatest common factor 1400,2796 is 4.
Lets's calculate LCM of 959,253
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 242627
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 4/242627
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1400/959,2796/253 is 4/242627
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 959,253 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(959,253) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(959,253) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(959,253) = ( 959 × 253 ) / 1
LCM(959,253) = 242627 / 1
LCM(959,253) = 242627
