Lets's calculate LCM of 743,1353
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 1005279
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 8/1005279
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 4256/743,7960/1353 is 8/1005279
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 743,1353 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(743,1353) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(743,1353) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(743,1353) = ( 743 × 1353 ) / 1
LCM(743,1353) = 1005279 / 1
LCM(743,1353) = 1005279
