Lets's calculate LCM of 89,2785
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 247865
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/247865
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 253/89,896/2785 is 1/247865
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 89,2785 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(89,2785) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(89,2785) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(89,2785) = ( 89 × 2785 ) / 1
LCM(89,2785) = 247865 / 1
LCM(89,2785) = 247865
