Lets's calculate LCM of 257,5243
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 1347451
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/1347451
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5756/257,2166/5243 is 2/1347451
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 257,5243 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(257,5243) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(257,5243) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(257,5243) = ( 257 × 5243 ) / 1
LCM(257,5243) = 1347451 / 1
LCM(257,5243) = 1347451
