Lets's calculate LCM of 253,937
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 237061
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 1/237061
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 7575/253,2542/937 is 1/237061
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 253,937 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(253,937) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(253,937) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(253,937) = ( 253 × 937 ) / 1
LCM(253,937) = 237061 / 1
LCM(253,937) = 237061
