Lets's calculate LCM of 239,993
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 237327
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 6/237327
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 4626/239,5280/993 is 6/237327
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 239,993 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(239,993) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(239,993) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(239,993) = ( 239 × 993 ) / 1
LCM(239,993) = 237327 / 1
LCM(239,993) = 237327
