Lets's calculate LCM of 255,659
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 168045
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 11/168045
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3597/255,2849/659 is 11/168045
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 255,659 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(255,659) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(255,659) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(255,659) = ( 255 × 659 ) / 1
LCM(255,659) = 168045 / 1
LCM(255,659) = 168045
