Lets's calculate LCM of 239,535
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 127865
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 12/127865
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 6768/239,5172/535 is 12/127865
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 239,535 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(239,535) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(239,535) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(239,535) = ( 239 × 535 ) / 1
LCM(239,535) = 127865 / 1
LCM(239,535) = 127865
