Lets's calculate LCM of 565,259
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 146335
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 13/146335
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 156/565,6461/259 is 13/146335
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 565,259 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(565,259) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(565,259) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(565,259) = ( 565 × 259 ) / 1
LCM(565,259) = 146335 / 1
LCM(565,259) = 146335
