So the greatest common factor 252,590 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 239,126
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 30114
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/30114
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 252/239,590/126 is 2/30114
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 239,126 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(239,126) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(239,126) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(239,126) = ( 239 × 126 ) / 1
LCM(239,126) = 30114 / 1
LCM(239,126) = 30114
