Lets's calculate LCM of 257,956
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 245692
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/245692
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 599/257,3201/956 is 1/245692
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 257,956 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(257,956) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(257,956) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(257,956) = ( 257 × 956 ) / 1
LCM(257,956) = 245692 / 1
LCM(257,956) = 245692
