Lets's calculate LCM of 259,957
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 247863
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/247863
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5500/259,3614/957 is 2/247863
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 259,957 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(259,957) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(259,957) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(259,957) = ( 259 × 957 ) / 1
LCM(259,957) = 247863 / 1
LCM(259,957) = 247863
