Lets's calculate LCM of 776,257
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 199432
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/199432
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 518/776,4566/257 is 2/199432
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 776,257 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(776,257) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(776,257) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(776,257) = ( 776 × 257 ) / 1
LCM(776,257) = 199432 / 1
LCM(776,257) = 199432
