Lets's calculate LCM of 257,509
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 130813
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/130813
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 7079/257,5526/509 is 1/130813
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 257,509 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(257,509) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(257,509) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(257,509) = ( 257 × 509 ) / 1
LCM(257,509) = 130813 / 1
LCM(257,509) = 130813
