So the greatest common factor 3950,8230 is 10.
Lets's calculate LCM of 509,357
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 181713
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 10/181713
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3950/509,8230/357 is 10/181713
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 509,357 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(509,357) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(509,357) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(509,357) = ( 509 × 357 ) / 1
LCM(509,357) = 181713 / 1
LCM(509,357) = 181713
