Lets's calculate LCM of 253,9426
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 2384778
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/2384778
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 5959/253,7218/9426 is 1/2384778
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 253,9426 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(253,9426) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(253,9426) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(253,9426) = ( 253 × 9426 ) / 1
LCM(253,9426) = 2384778 / 1
LCM(253,9426) = 2384778
