So the greatest common factor 5257,8547 is 7.
Lets's calculate LCM of 243,8188
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 1989684
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 7/1989684
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5257/243,8547/8188 is 7/1989684
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 243,8188 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(243,8188) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(243,8188) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(243,8188) = ( 243 × 8188 ) / 1
LCM(243,8188) = 1989684 / 1
LCM(243,8188) = 1989684
