Lets's calculate LCM of 159,439
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 69801
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 2/69801
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 748/159,9506/439 is 2/69801
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 159,439 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(159,439) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(159,439) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(159,439) = ( 159 × 439 ) / 1
LCM(159,439) = 69801 / 1
LCM(159,439) = 69801
