Lets's calculate LCM of 537,439
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 235743
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 39/235743
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 351/537,5655/439 is 39/235743
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 537,439 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(537,439) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(537,439) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(537,439) = ( 537 × 439 ) / 1
LCM(537,439) = 235743 / 1
LCM(537,439) = 235743
