Lets's calculate LCM of 403,621
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 250263
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/250263
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5342/403,4237/621 is 1/250263
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 403,621 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(403,621) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(403,621) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(403,621) = ( 403 × 621 ) / 1
LCM(403,621) = 250263 / 1
LCM(403,621) = 250263
