So the greatest common factor 3992,8613 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 515,259
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 133385
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/133385
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 3992/515,8613/259 is 1/133385
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 515,259 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(515,259) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(515,259) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(515,259) = ( 515 × 259 ) / 1
LCM(515,259) = 133385 / 1
LCM(515,259) = 133385
