So the greatest common factor 5235,6495 is 15.
Lets's calculate LCM of 208,891
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 185328
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 15/185328
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5235/208,6495/891 is 15/185328
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 208,891 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(208,891) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(208,891) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(208,891) = ( 208 × 891 ) / 1
LCM(208,891) = 185328 / 1
LCM(208,891) = 185328
