Lets's calculate LCM of 532,239
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 127148
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 13/127148
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 312/532,949/239 is 13/127148
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 532,239 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(532,239) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(532,239) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(532,239) = ( 532 × 239 ) / 1
LCM(532,239) = 127148 / 1
LCM(532,239) = 127148
