Lets's calculate LCM of 257,599
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 153943
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/153943
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 6808/257,3834/599 is 2/153943
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 257,599 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(257,599) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(257,599) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(257,599) = ( 257 × 599 ) / 1
LCM(257,599) = 153943 / 1
LCM(257,599) = 153943
