Lets's calculate LCM of 257,539
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 138523
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 12/138523
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 348/257,9336/539 is 12/138523
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 257,539 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(257,539) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(257,539) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(257,539) = ( 257 × 539 ) / 1
LCM(257,539) = 138523 / 1
LCM(257,539) = 138523
