So the greatest common factor 4643,5238 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 240,2597
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 623280
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/623280
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 4643/240,5238/2597 is 1/623280
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 240,2597 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(240,2597) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(240,2597) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(240,2597) = ( 240 × 2597 ) / 1
LCM(240,2597) = 623280 / 1
LCM(240,2597) = 623280
