So the greatest common factor 702,577 is 1.
Lets's calculate LCM of 257,259
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 66563
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/66563
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 702/257,577/259 is 1/66563
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 257,259 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(257,259) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(257,259) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(257,259) = ( 257 × 259 ) / 1
LCM(257,259) = 66563 / 1
LCM(257,259) = 66563
