Lets's calculate LCM of 457,959
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 438263
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/438263
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3156/457,2109/959 is 3/438263
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 457,959 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(457,959) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(457,959) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(457,959) = ( 457 × 959 ) / 1
LCM(457,959) = 438263 / 1
LCM(457,959) = 438263
