Lets's calculate LCM of 257,8033
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 2064481
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 6/2064481
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 1572/257,3450/8033 is 6/2064481
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 257,8033 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(257,8033) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(257,8033) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(257,8033) = ( 257 × 8033 ) / 1
LCM(257,8033) = 2064481 / 1
LCM(257,8033) = 2064481
