Lets's calculate LCM of 584,253
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 147752
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 3/147752
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 729/584,4992/253 is 3/147752
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 584,253 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(584,253) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(584,253) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(584,253) = ( 584 × 253 ) / 1
LCM(584,253) = 147752 / 1
LCM(584,253) = 147752
