Lets's calculate LCM of 239,743
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 177577
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/177577
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5215/239,3509/743 is 1/177577
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 239,743 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(239,743) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(239,743) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(239,743) = ( 239 × 743 ) / 1
LCM(239,743) = 177577 / 1
LCM(239,743) = 177577
