We found the factors 5018,2472 . The biggest common factor number is the GCF number.
So the greatest common factor 5018,2472 is 2.
Lets's calculate LCM of 257,935
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 240295
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/240295
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5018/257,2472/935 is 2/240295
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 257,935 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(257,935) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(257,935) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(257,935) = ( 257 × 935 ) / 1
LCM(257,935) = 240295 / 1
LCM(257,935) = 240295
