Lets's calculate LCM of 249,319
Given numbers has no common factors except 1. So, there LCM is their product i.e 79431
Thus GCF of Fractions = GCF of Numerators/LCM of Denominators = 17/79431
Therefore, the GCF of Fractions 7599/249,4046/319 is 17/79431
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 249,319 and common factors if more than two numbers have common factor, than apply into the LCM equation.
GCF(249,319) = 1
common factors(in case of two or more numbers have common factors) = 1
GCF(249,319) x common factors =1 x 1 = 1
LCM(249,319) = ( 249 × 319 ) / 1
LCM(249,319) = 79431 / 1
LCM(249,319) = 79431
