Lets's calculate LCM of 257,290
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 74530
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/74530
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 295/257,966/290 is 1/74530
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 257,290 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(257,290) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(257,290) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(257,290) = ( 257 × 290 ) / 1
LCM(257,290) = 74530 / 1
LCM(257,290) = 74530
