Lets's calculate LCM of 959,258
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 247422
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/247422
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 2400/959,4203/258 is 3/247422
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 959,258 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(959,258) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(959,258) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(959,258) = ( 959 × 258 ) / 1
LCM(959,258) = 247422 / 1
LCM(959,258) = 247422
